Gnomes, mock 1

[SabertoothBunny]

Starting playing with making gnomes, here are the first 2 I made this weekend. Put the noses too low which allows beard seams to show and look bad. I also suck horribly at making circles so this is the practice I need to do that so win-win.


Wood is mahogany and spalted maple. Didn’t get as much contrast between the woods as I had hoped but they don’t look bad together. These are fun little things to make and quite easy.

I think they are cute!

Remember…Every turning is a learning experience.

If you just cannot bring yourself to have warm fuzzies over these guys, you can cast them upon the isle of misfit gnomes!!

They look fine. I think if you make the hat and body separately you can put hair there too when you put the 2 pieces together. Really though they don't look too bad.

The only thing I’d do different is make the hair go up to the hat. Then there’s no seam and no worries about where to put the nose. I think they look fine.
