Small Faces

[Kepis]

More carved faces in a very simple, but cheeky chappie style.

Photograph with the SAK to show the size of stick used, all carved with my SAK Hiker and/or Flexcut, beard on the second one down carved with the V tool on the Flexcut.

The bottom one is a bit grumpy looking, but there again he does have the other three sitting on his head.

I admire the precision of all your work @Kepis . I love whittling but just don’t have your precision hand.

Now my apologies if I’m being presumptuous to a master.

Have you ever carved a face into the corner of a squared off stick. (Or maybe a natural branch with two faces split off it at 90 degrees?

A friend who is a mask maker and giant builder (another story) once grabbed a big right angle rule and pushed it onto my face. My nose touched the apex and the sides touched my cheek bones. Carving a square stick of fire wood is the nearest I’ve come to a face. It’s certainly great for noses

Im by no means a master, i just enjoy a bit of whittling and it helps keep my mind active as well as exercising my hands and arms whilst i await some operations

But yup to answer your questions, a double face on a stick like this one

This chap was carved from a square block, with the apex of his nose being the corner of the block, a also made a big batch of little chaps from square blocks as a gaming set, Linky to the post here

Do you get your wood from Itchycoo Park, by any chance?
