Default Smallest spirit?

I made a very tiny spirit of the woods today for a little practice.


Obviously not done but maybe it never will be.

That's one fine 'micro-carving' you have there! We ought to have a 'special department or section' for 'micro-carvings' like these...since lots of carvers enjoy doing them. I'm still amazed at how tiny these little guys are and the detail you guys and gals carve into them...heck, I have enough trouble carving details like that in 5" or 6" characters! Ha! Thanks for sharing the tiny little guy with us and safe carving to you!

Nice little spirit.

But you're lucky that Forrest doesn't carve wood spirit... you wouldn't find yours so small...

Thanks everyone! I love carving. I have lots of really nice red oak laying around and I feel like a bum not doing anything with it.

Nice little carving. Are you sure it's small or does it just look that way sitting in the giant's hand. LOL.
