I was surprised to find this little gem this week.
I carved this at Summer Camp when I was in Boy Scouts - around 40 years ago!

It was a kit I bought at the Camp Trading Post, a square block of wood with a hole through it (for your Scout neckerchief), and a carving guide printed on it.
Lots of fun!

My latest project finished. First time with butternut wood, chips a little more than bass wood but the beautiful grain is worth it.

Thanks, I will post some of my other projects if there is interest. I know this isn’t a carving site, but wood and knives go hand and hand.

We will see, got about 3 weeks until his birthday. I was going to wait until Christmas but figured his birthday is close enough to Christmas.

Don't know if any of you carvers saw this on another thread. Don't know anything at all about it but the carving of the hand is impressive. My Granddad was and commercial and fine artist his whole life and always told me hands were the most difficult subjects. J.O'.

Made this last week while sitting around the fire at scout camp. My son split a pine log about 14” across with a axe and a perfect little log came out of the center. I sat at the fire during the day while the boys were in classes and carved this with my Mora 511 knife. A v gouge was used for hair and I used a wire from a survey flag heated in the coals to burn it(except the “Welcome”). We will put it on the deli case at my wife’s restaurant.
