First timer
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Took the opportunity to try something new. This was my first attempt at carving a wood spirit. I knew I should have picked a softwood for my first try but this piece of cherry has been sitting in my shop for a few years and I guess the wood spirt inside it finally got my attention. I carved it using me Dremel and flex shaft, should have had some better carving bits. It is finished with a dark mahogany stain and clear matte spray. It wasn't terribly difficult to carve, cherry is a relatively soft hardwood but next time I think I'll look for a lighter colored wood. The stain helped to highlight some of the details and overall it took me just a few hours to carve, stain and finish. I did some research on the history of wood spirits and made up the tag to put with these, feel free to use it if you'd like.
