Whittled this gaggle of monsters out of 1inch wide sticks 3.5 inches tall using just a knife while making a tutorial video.
Lots of fun! I like being able to just grab some basswood and make something.

Another #persistencenotperfection: this little chap was my attempt at @johnnythelayton.bsky.social's great whittled dog video. It really didn't come out well, however, and I was tempted to give up on it.
(To be clear, the video is excellent; my execution of the instructions, less so)

Two dwarves, one mission: stand on a shelf and silently judge your life choices. Hand-carved from basswood, finished with Black Walnut Danish oil, and rocking serious beard energy. Tiny, grumpy, and glorious.
