My First wood spirit

[salad]

I have never been a big carver just a few spoons here and there but today I thought I would have a go at a woodspirit.
I followed an online tutorial and this is what I did.
Its a bit rough but was fun to have a go, I just used a small neck knife to do it with

Very nice, I like it. Good first attempt.

That is excellent.

Can you point us in the direction of the tutorial you used please?

I have an Ash thumbstick which would look great with one of those.

Here you go mate, the thing I like about this tutorial is that it is all done with a knife no extra gouges and v-gouges ect ect
