Carving a Gnome

This is the second part of a pair that I made for my favorite Oklahomans. I hope they like them. I shipped this pair of carvings off for Christmas 2023.

The material is a 1x1x6" piece of Basswood. I used one knife on this carving a Flexcut roughing knife. Measurements of note from bottom: 1/2" for feet, 1" for belly, 2"for beard, 2 1/2" on sides for shoulders, 3" for nose and ears. Measurements can be changed to however smaller or bigger your piece is. I used Doug Linker's measurements for this pair (visit his channel - Linker).

I was not going to put this one up so soon after I completed the previous female gnome, but decided to put it up anyway. I don't think I will get many views, as the past carving videos, but I will continue putting things up I like and hope it brings enjoyment to at least one other. I'm certainly not in it for the money...I would be starving if I were...lol.

Please enjoy all things In my Purview!
