Randy is it carved from basswood? Also difficult to tell how big the piece is in the photo.

Very nice indeed/ Well carved, well painted.

Very nice carving! I really don't care for gnomes though. They run off with my tools when I'm not looking.

Mark, it is basswood and it is about 7" tall. Fun project. That book has a 30 or so projects. They have it on amazon. I am going to do that face on a stick one day soon.
