Default Tom H. Style Keychain
My wife wanted something substantial to hold the keys to the mailbox to keep them from being misplaced so during Nationwide Series Qualifying this afternoon I whittled this character out of red cedar. Unlike the carvings in Tom's article it's carved from a piece of 1" x 1" x 5" stock. I don't have any way to cut triangular stock so I just rounded off the back of the carving. I left it 'au naturel' with only a couple of coats of w.b. poly.

Yepper! Really nice job on that key chain. But what is that background you used for the photo? That's pretty neat looking.

Good one Eddy, what is so neat about TomH's Wizards is that they can be any size you want. I like the red cedar too!

Chuck...

Sometime, somewhere, many, many, years ago while still on the job I was given a report comprised of tracked computer paper provided in this heavy duty red file folder. I always knew that the folder would come in handy! I never had the heart to throw it away!

I know what she means Eddy, Gollum was a Mentally ill Hobbit driven by the desire of a ring. Correct me if I'm wrong Keoma.
