Default An "AHA" moment
I needed two posts to finish up the stair case in the doll house I am building. I could order them, but then I decided "maybe I could carve them". I know for most of you this wouldn't of been a big deal, you could whip these out in five min or so, but for me this was really a "big deal". And so my third carving project is done! Still needs some sanding, the white one is the original. These are 3-1/2 inches high and the base is 7/16ths square. Took me maybe an hour for both. Comments welcome!
