Default Genes' little guy tutorial

G'day All,
Was greatly impressed by Genes' ( "Carving A Simple Small Figure From A Block Of Wood '' A Beginners Tutorial and decided to give it a try. I cut some 1" stock to 12" in length then marked it in 3" sections by saw cuts on all sides. Being as bumblefingered as I am, decided to work on all sections before seperating them, this gave me more material to hang onto while carving

I found that using Genes' basic pattern allowed me to alter a bit here and there and create 4 different characters from the same plan. My local woodturning club is in the process of forming a woodcarving club and Gene being the gentleman that he is, gave me the OK to print and laminate his tutorial so the the new club can use it as a teaching aid...

Thanks again Gene

You did a fine job on these different guys and with that pattern .. you really used your imagination .. Great job Bill

Iam so pleased someone could use them to help in furthering their carving skills ..

Thank you so much Bill and please keep me informed on your clubs progress .

Outstanding work gentlemen! I got as far as cutting and pasting Gene's tutorial to an email and sending it to myself and then cutting the 1" stock.... Now I have the impetus (sp?) to get going! No excuses!

Those turned out great as finished carvings. You know, I have to say I even liked them all stacked up together! It was a little guy totem.

Good job my friend.
