Re: shelf elf

In-genius Vic! Love the hands and feet! What size blank did you have to start with to include the hands? I just cut myself out four blanks the other day but I'll bet they're too narrow to even attempt adding hands!

Re: shelf elf

Great job Vic,
i had to do a double take after i noticed the limbs of this critter,
its definitely different...
hope you dont mind me trying to copy your idea,
i have been looking for ideas for ornaments, and smaller quick carvings for beginners...

Re: shelf elf

I would have got on earlier but my computer was down .The ideal was all my wife's.I,m sure you could have carved him then added the arms and feet.I carved him all in one chunk.Eddy he is 5" tall by 3 1/4" that is from hand to hand he is 2" thick.I hope you can under stand my measurements .I just took the block and started carving. i didn't have a pattern.I don't know how to make a pattern but if some does please post it so ever body can try one.Thanks for all the nice comments.
Vic.
