Santas everywhere!
Some real fun, try the spoons, they go quickly and are quite easy to do.

Santas everywhere!Here are my latest carvings. This year I decided to try some Santas. Stan McKenzie had a class at the club doing Santas on wooden spoons (basswood?) from Bed Bath and Beyond. I bought some and tried it. Cost $2.99. Got hooked ! and have done a few. After trying to carve with gouges and knife I moved on to power. Using a 1/4" drum, 1/8" diamon bit and the tappered mandrel I found my nitch. . The flat face Santas were all carved with knife and gouge. The pear shaped ones were power carved, wood was I think, Birch. Very hard and if you tapped them together they sounded like hardwood balls hitting. Now to get the "Boss" to paint them. Some real fun, try the spoons, they go quickly and are quite easy to do. Charlie Comments are closed.
