Default My First Solo Woodspirit
Well Colin got me hooked and it seems everyone likes woodspirits. So here is my first attempt at one. It is done in a 5 inch cedar log. I used all hand tools no chainsaws or power tools. I promised I wouldn't run a chainsaw with out supervision. I finished it with some golden oak danish oil.

You are right Ron, everyone likes woodspirits.
You have done a fine job with this one. He looks like he's about to say something.

Nice woodspirit Ron that is amazing. Your right it does look like it is about to say something. I am sure he is saying "Get away from me with that chainsaw"
