What's on Your Porch Tonight?

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

I carved this last Saturday at my Church's Fall Festival. Came our pretty nice.
The tool I used was a loop carver like the ones used in shaping clay. It is a triangle tip with a 1/4" radius at the tip. I made it from a strip of thin W2 (old clock spring). Edge is pretty sharp on both sides of the loop.
What are you folks doing for decorations?



Tool is like the triangle one on the bottom:

Well, I guess it could be, but I am not that handsome.
It started out as a mountain man, and sort of morphed into a pirate that looks like Einstein. Kids have say it looks like a wizard.
