To answer a comment on how I clean up my carvings to finish the carvings as I’ve been preaching at the end of my videos, I have (attempted) to create a short video to demonstrate that process. Hope this video would help show you my process on cleaning up the finished carving.

I thought I’d take a break while getting ready to queue up the next round of wood carving. In the mean time, I thought I’d show some of the wood carvings done here in Minnesota at our state fair. I put some carvings in too, got some blue and red ribbons, but none on those I thought deserved something. Any ways, I won’t cry or blame the judges, yet. Here is quite a variety of different wood carving in wood working.

I will finish carving the eyes and talk a bit more about under cuts that bring the character and details out.

Sorry that this segment took so long for me to upload. I have computer problems consists of ‘the blue screen of death,’ and ‘press the power button five seconds till the computer shuts down’ problems. I’m still trying to get those problems solved.

I brought the finished version of ‘Indian Corn’ to the Minnesota State fair creative arts building and I will let you know the results so wish me luck.

Sorry that it has been a while since I uploaded a new video. Tis the season for me to get ready for the upcoming Holiday Arts and Craft season (about mid-October to December). I have already scheduled many shows and art galleries that I may have spread myself thin. So, I need to keep carving.

This is part one of my new facial expression carvings. This one has a Native American twist. This caricature face is on a carved corn cob. The final carving is painted in the multi-colored ‘Indian Corn’ cob colors.
