Hello and good morning all. Today I'll share an older piece. Was searching through my phone for projects I haven't posted yet and I ran across this guy. Surprised I didn't post him...bonus!
So here I will share the beginning and the end with a few cuts in between.

It was December 2019 and I wanted to carve a different inventory piece for the holidays. What better than a Christmas gnome? It was either that or a bear with a Santa hat. I carve alot of bears so it was an easy decision..

I use a water based deck and fence sealer than repels water/mold and protects against UV rays..
