Woodspirit WIP

[Indoorsout]

This is based on the woodspirit from the Wood Spirits and Green Men book I got last week. Done with my Pocket Pal SAK, a Frosts carver and my one half-decent gouge. Not detail yet really but getting there, it's a WIP

That is looking great especially with sounds like basic kit.

This one is from the book, Wood Spirits and Green Men: A Design Sourcebook for Woodcarvers and Other Artists. The mag has the 5 minute wizards in along with a whole host of other projects. Your best bet if you want it is to find a friendly American to send it to you, their postal service states 8 weeks delivery! http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com for the mag. They have a great forum too
