Green Man/Wood Spirit Toothpick Holder

[Lindy]

I decided to try doing a Green Man/Wood Spirit as a toothpick holder. He's not done ( as you probably can see ) but here it is.

These toothpick holders are getting really addicting!

Okay,what kind of wood is it and how big is it? Looks great I can't wait to see it when you are finished.

Great project with a wonderfully functional purpose to it.
Your leaves are developing nicely. Please post again when you're finished.

Thanks guys!


I've discovered I really enjoy making these, (my poor family - they have no idea what they're in for now).

The piece is done out of bass and I started with a piece that was 3" high by 2" x 2". It finished at 3" and here are the pictures of it.

I must say that it's nice to have people to show your work to. Since I moved away from Calgary I don't have anyone to share this with. So thank you for putting up with all my postings of my carvings everyone - it really is appreciated.

Well Lindy..if you make those out of a 2x2x3 inch tall block and before carving, drill a 5/8 hole down thru it...you will be ready for Bob's friendship cane LOL

Hmmm - I volunteered for that and I was wondering what on earth I would carve! Okay Bob - I'm ready now - *LOL* Bouncing S

Deborah, thank you - I must say they've gotten rather addicting. I'm suddenly coming up with other ideas for toothpick holders and even pen holders. Sure hope my family & friends want toothpick holders. Wink
