Carving a Profile Wood Spirit

When I am using my cotton wood bark for carving my Wood Spirits I find that I have a lot of leftover pieces that are not fit for carving a full face. So if you learn to carve a profile or wood spirit. You can save a lot of the wood and make it useful.



You can see by the examples that it takes very little space to create a profile or three quarter face.
It is also a great way to learn how to carve if you mess up a piece of wood that would otherwise be useless. It's not such a big deal. When you learn to carve the face the nose and the mouth of the mustache you do not have to keep the face symmetrical because you only have one side. You use the same tools and have the same principles, but it's a great way to learn.



You can check out my links, and view my sales for How to Carve a Profile Wood Spirit plus you can also go on YouTube and see a short clip of the same.
