"Great job Fred! And thanks for sharing with us your lil Gnome!"

With what little time I've had to screw around in the shop I was practicing on this. This isn't the nice job the rest of you do, but someday I'll get better. Not seen in the pic is the split down the back of the hat from a hole that was drilled a little off center in the piece of scrap I used. Anyway, the body is a piece of scrap peach and the hat is cherry, both from my supply of "smokker" wood. The nose and ball on the cap are bloodwood...which I found to be an extremely hard wood on the lathe. But the hardest part, and maybe what i did worse, was getting the beard in place...my video didn't talk much about that part. So, here's my first...I hope to do some more.

I love it Fred! Hey you said video, do you have a video of the process?

 

And I just got one more thing to say. @Larry Buskirk !!!!!!!!!!

I was referring to the video I followed, it was at the Craft Supplies website. It was overly long for such a simple project, but they do (apparently) things catering to the newbie (me) turner...so they spent a fair amount of time on tool use and so on. But it was this one.

Marie is really crafty (craftie? is it even a word?) but if I do another one I'll ask for tips with the beard.
