I carved this snowman for my longtime dentist and his wife. I knew thew would get a kick out of it as they are also avid crafters and artists.
The snow man is made in three pieces. The body was carved from aspen. The glove and tooth and glove and toothbrush were carved from basswood. If I do something like this again I will paint it before I glue it together. The painting turned out to be more of a challenge than carving. Also a tip the nose and eyes for the snow man were carved from a bamboo chopstick. I like to use bamboo for those as it is stronger for these small pieces than regular carving wood.
Go carve something.
