carving a scandinavian woodspirit ?

[woodspirits]

found a nice piece of forked lime at the august north wood meet, started off as one of my 'normal' woodspirits, but somehow this little fella wandered off into scandinavia! hope you like him...

thanks ogri, soar has an exellent tutorial albeit of a slightly different woodspirit, not sure i know how to go about it without treading on anybodys toes?, i'll give it some thought

nice carving, is this little fella upset or what,looks like he lost his knife and sword in the sea. give him a drink! nice one!

 

[woodspirits]

naa, hes just old and mean!

 

[Shewie]

Any chance of a tutorial one day Steve? Just the basic stuff like where to start and how to go about the carving without wrecking it.

I wouldn't expect to get an end result anything like yours but it would be nice to have a go one day

 

[Mesquite]

Very nice Steve... very nice indeed.

I'd love to have some lessons from you in carving
