This little farmer is carved from a small scrap of maple wood, I had left from making some turkey call boxes.Hes 7/16 of a inch wide and tall at 1/2 inch. He was alot of fun to carve & paint,course it didnt take alot of paint! LOL He has over alls on with a yellow shirt and a red bandanna in his back pocket. I hope to carve a little hilly billy family soon? Your thoughts on this little farmer is welcome. Thanks for ckn this little guy out........Tenn

Interesting. I have no idea how you can carve something that small. I'm having trouble seeing the small details. Your annual wood cost won't be much with project like this!

I find it carving something smaller some what easier than a larger carving at times.These little guys{miniatures} are mosty by touch{being able to feel} carving them than actually seeing them. Theres places while painting them,its just guessing with some dots. I hope this kinda makes sense? I find it alot of fun and rewarding carving these little funny caricatures! I had a jar of small pieces or chunks of wood,just in case I would need them,till my first little ho bo carving and now I know why I had been saving the small pieces which helps to hold down the cost of wood....hahahaaa Thanks for your input Mike!

OK Tenn, you know we can see your picture in your avatar, but are you actually only 5 inches high? That's gotta be one of the smallest carvings I've seen. Very interesting subject too. I really like the teeney, tiny chicken. Thor |

WELL?? Im 6'2" about 210 lbs.That pict was taken 2 years ago,guess I need to up date it with out a cap on so ppl will know I have hair too! LOL I could have done better on the chic-chick but I never draw anything out and carve as I go,I should have planned a better chicken but didnt but Im glad you like the chicken anyway! I belive.NO! I know I can carve alot smaller but I dont use a mag-n--i-fying-glass so I will just have to see how much smaller I can feel. I would like to carve a hillbilly family{Paw,Maw and a boy and girl plus chickens,a dog,mule and a pig.{after June I will have that kinda time} Im glad you liked this farmer plus the chicken. Thanks as always,Thor

They are so small I can't see them in the pictures....much less try to carve them. Have fun. I think the family would be cute in a scene of some kind.
