Default Whittle tee noggins

Here is a few photographs of my latest carving actitity of carving faces on the lowly wooden goft tee, called Whittle Tee Noggins because they are carved only with a knife. More may be seen on my web log at: WoodBeeCarver Blog Archive WHITTLE TEE NOGGINS Thanks for taking a look. Carvefully yours, Don

Nice group of carvings Don. I used to carve some similar to the Santa (farthest left one on the group picture) out of red tees. Less painting that way! You've gone a few steps farther and have a nice collection...can't say that all are pretty, but I believe that was the intention. Exellent work.

Great idea Don!!! Quality once again. Where do you get those tees? They look to be a little heavier than the normal tees. Keep them coming Don.
