Default Tuba Playing Gnome
Had a request to carve a small Gnome playing a tuba. After several attempts to carve the tuba out of Basswood, I gave up and this is what the result is. The Gnome is 3 1/2 inches tall including the hat. There were just too many grain changes to carve the tuba out of Basswood, with my pocket knife. I tried, but it kept breaking....Hope this works....

Tom, I didn't think you gave up so easy. That nice slick paint job would have given you away.

Nice one, Tom
