Pocket Knife Wood Spirit

[Buckskin]

Awhile back someone posted about carving wood spirits with nothing but a pocket knife. Being the inquisitive fledgling carver that I am, I gave it a whirl.

Here is the result of my efforts. This is a piece of Sycamore about 1". It rode around in the side box of my work truck for a couple weeks as I worked on him during breaks and so forth. I brought it directly home to the camera and did not bother with the fuzzy's.

That's a good job with just a pocket knife. It's a lot more challenging and rewarding.

Carl, thank you! It is a slightly modified pocket knife. The manufactures edge is long gone. But, alas it is still a pocket knife.

Ron T, thank you as well!!!! It certainly is a challenge. One I like very much!!

Thanks for sharring.

Keoma, Thank you! I look back at the very first one and I amaze my self. It has been fun learning.

cannuck, Thank you kindly! I have a red cedar limb that I am making a cane out of. I think there may be a spirit in its future.
