A DOUBLE HEADER

Carving 'em two at a time saves a lot of

wasted time looking for tools

pick up a tool use it...

flip the stick and do the other end

and just keep moving through the tools.

Before you carve the shoes ..

separate with the band saw.

Do the shoes and you are ready to Pant,

oil or wax...

Enjoy

THE 5 MINUTE WIZZARD

I always tell people that when you try out a new or different pattern.. carve a couple of dozen.. and get all the bugs worked out... and then do about 10 or 12 at a time. It makes them very easy to carve.. one tool.. 12 of the same cuts.. and on to the next step..Try it..

and then do the same for the painting step..

SANTA ON A STICK

WOODCARVERS MEDICATION

I have done the little ones like this for all of my doctors and the wife's also.. It's like giving them a perscription of  your own..

Carve the carvings to fit the medication bottles that you have. If you do not have any ..ask an older person.

the box above is filled with little 2 inch carvings
