Default First wood spirt

Well, here is my first try at wood spirits. I am using found wood from Southwest Missouri, Cedar.

I got the nose a little long but I think it will work out ok in the end. (who says that a wood spirits nose is normal anyway?)

Looks great to me.


BTW, what size is a normal nose? I know some who have long noses.

I have a long nose and happen to like it. I've had it for nearly 65 years.

Here is the finished product. The wood is about 2 feet long and 3 inches wide. Hard to get the Cedar to hold the detail, I think I need to do a little larger carving.

I brought back about 25 pcs of found cedar wood from Missouri so I will have lot's of opportunity to try and perfect the art of "found wood spirit carvings"
