Thanks for the tutorial ole hoss, I've been wanting to try this for a while and now I have the blueprint. We have a lot of white ash growing here in Nebraska and I make trips up to South Dakota quite often and they have ash there as well so my supply is good. Thanks again and keep it up.

Great thread. I'll certainly be giving this a go as have been wanting to for a while. I know my scouts and explorers would love to do something like this.

Ok. Before I show you the pics, I need to tell you that I carved it with my TBS Boar. Those who know the knife, know that it sports a 4mm thick blade. Believe me that I had a couple of close shaves with fingers .
Brushed a bit of olive oil onto it as it is my first carving!!

Nothing to it Tony, just a few stop cuts and a few slicey ones oh, err, ehmm.....if you dont like blood, get yourself a protective glove for the non-carving hand

First attempts at some simple woodspirits

Doug Linker on utube has some great videos that I used to get started, well worth a look.

Very good tutorial, I've read it several times.

The Linker videos are where I learned to carve. Very enjoyable way to spend a few hours.

You've imbued so much personality into that carving. Wonderful stuff.

Doug (Linker) is who inspired me to get into it properly. Love his channel, nice peaceful way to spend an afternoon or evening just whittling along with him.
