Simple woodspirit

[Greenbeard]

Had a try at carving a woodspirit, the wood is western red cedar. Also attempted some kolrosing at the base.

I've been carving western red cedar for some years now.
I am pleasantly surprised at the level of detail that you have brought in the designs.
That's skill. Well done.

Looks really good. Did the design come from your imagination or is it based on anything?

Looks really good! Did you have a set of carving knives with you??

Nicely done, looks great.

I got the idea from a Greencraft video on YouTube. The top of the stick is the wizards head, the barley twist on the middle represents the connection between all things in nature and the symbols are important natural aspects of British natural heritage. The shield at the base means they need to be protected. Western red cedar is lovely to carve, a very soft wood.

The knife I used was a small carving knife about 50mm in length. I'm on the lookout for a nice small spoon knife next.

Really like that
I guess it could also be a story stick or a study stick
