Allen i carved right along with ya on the shelf elf got mine done and i didn't do a bad job (eyes wasn't to good,oh well) but i really enjoyed it. keep it up. this is my first carving.

thanks!

[allengoodman69]

Thank's sothunfried im smilin' ear to ear for ya ! The eyes are kinda tough when beginning ( I can relate very well) but just keep practicing and keep a mirror handy ,to study the best example there is."Long live the elf wherever may he may set."

Great videos. Thank you.

Could you show a pattern for the cutouts? Either on a piece of paper with measurements, or drawn on the block of wood with measurements? Kind of tough for me to eyeball this.

[allengoodman69]

Thanks jnuscgek. This was in "CARVING''

mag. issue 14, 2006, (for further help).

The most important thing is it has to have e-nuff wood to "sit" on a shelf, without falling off. I used a 2'' x 2'' x 7'' in the article, but it can be any size you like !

Hope this helps. Allen

Thanks for commenting ! I make my own line of woodcarving knives using hi-carbon steel tempered 59/60 rc. scale. I specialize in "flexible" blades that help in a myriad of different ways. Allen
