My first woodspirit

[mountainm]

Here's my first woodspirit - needs more work doing, but as he's already on his second nose I'm going to give him a rest to harden a little before I add details, smooth down etc.

Nicely carved

How long did it take?

 

[mountainm]

I had nearly finished it when I chipped his nose off so I had to start over and go deeper. Consequently it took me about two and a half hours instead of the one hour it should've been.

nice work mate I leally like that.

 

[WolfCrafter]

Brill start! Not far off, should look stunning when that final tweak of detail is added! That's the fun part!! :0)

 

[woodspirits]

looking good mike, be sure to post up the finished WS.

 

[mountainm]

Thanks guys - heere's the story so far - but the compulsion to keep tweaking is very strong.... do I keep going?

 

[woodspirits]

mm, i'd say no, be happy with it. its a fine job considering it's your first! right, move on to the next one...

Nice very nice. I'm defo going to try these in the new year. I'm planning on making these and attaching them to trees in my local park.hoping people find them when out with their dogs and take them home. hopefully create a
wee bit of mystery of who's doing this etc
cheers Scott.
