Kenn's Gnome

Here's a different take on a Gnome. Maybe a more modern Gnome he is. Anyway you look at him, he's still a winner. This little fellow was carved by Kenn (Old Codger) from the Woodcarving Illustrated Forum.

Alex's Gnome!

Here's a little Gnome, hand carved by Alex Swope, PA. This little fellow is 2 1/2 inches tall, including the hat. Thank you Alex! He's a fine little fellow.

Whittlin Santa' & Gnomes

I eat my breakfast at a small diner in town. Been doin it forever. 48 years ago bride said she didn't do breakfast. While at the diner I sit and whittle. I whittle small Santa pins/ornaments, and gnomes.

One of the newer fellows that was in the diner this morning saw me whittlin a Santa pin. I heard him ask, "are Santa's the only he carves"? Some one else answered, "no he carves gnomes too".

Long Time No See!

Been busy, busy, busy. Vacation, work, play, vacation. Mow, mow, mow. Weed, weed, weed.
Carve, carve, carve....Without my carving glove. Bleed, bleed, bleed. Stitch, stitch, stitch, stitch, stitch, stitch. Read book, read book, read book. No carving of the Gnome! Soon to resume.

Carved Wood Quilt

The previous posting about a wood quilt square Gnome, mentioned a wood quilt. This is the type of a wood quilt that I was referring to. Each of the squares measures 5" x 5" x 1/2 inch thick. Once the wood squares are carved, they are assembled with a lattice and framed. Our carving group at the senior center regularly makes these for display and to raffle off for the center. I failed to get a photo of the "quilt" with the Gnome that I carved. Which is really stupid because I am the one that makes the frame and assembles the individual squares.

Wood Quilt Square - Gnome

5 1/2 inch square, for a wood quilt. 16 squares were assembled and framed for our Senior center, carving group. This was my contribution.

Gnome on a Disk!

Smug little fellow mounted on a disk. Made a great gift.
