I know, I want to put him in a stroller and cruise the mall...

Sunset(to catch myself up):

Sunny day today, working on this dude:

Been working on a big little guy made from the carrotwood
Here are two chunks I took off the log:


It dries super duper hard. Slow work. I tried a test stain piece and it isn't too exciting. It looks similar to a basswood, but is way harder to work with.

So far, i've used a v tool palm gouge and a straight "hookknife" that came in the starters kit. It works just a little better than the hooked knife that I'm used to, but only for this piece, for some reason.

Anyway, it's lunch time, and I'm burning daylight...

Buzzy Out!
