A customer wanted a balcony and windows to go with my gnome door and bridge. They also wanted a place to attach air plants. So I made these.

I carved a slightly larger gnome than my usual ones so I could add some extra details, and I decided to make a little toy out of him. I was playing with him trying to figure out what kind of motion would work and I decided on kind of a wobbling from side to side was kind of funny. It doesn't...

I'm undecided whether this is an elf or a gnome, but he is definitely not a Santa! I was trying to give Mark Akers the last bit of my cash, and I saw a little carving similar to this, sitting on the table at his booth. I think Mark said he had been messing around with it at carving club or a...

This is a little gnome relaxing on a toadstool. The gnome is a Floyd Rhadigan pattern, published in Wood Carving Illustrated Issue 63, Summer 2013. Floyd's gnome was around 7 inches tall; mine is 5.5 inches tall, carved from basswood, dipped in BLO, then painted with acrylic paints. Claude

This little Nisse is a Norwegian style flat-plane carving. I used basswood scraps that I had laying around. I drew a few lines on the wood and started carving. I used a piece of walnut for the walking staff. The basswood one I made broke rather quickly. He is screwed to wood base. I mounted...

I saw this on Vinnie's project posting and liked the idea for Christmas presents for my wife and daughter. I modified Vinnie's design a bit but kept his basic concept. Mine were made from cherry with a Danish oil finish.

Another light industrial complex dumpster discovery - we have a shop nearby that is always throwing out cutoffs from installing structural plywood beams. I had an idea and this is what came of it. I was using a faceplate and either my stock was too thin, my screws too long or I was just...

Garden Gnome for Christmas, I hope the Garden gnome liberationists leave this one alone.

My Mother has a nice back yard, but it has an ugly old well casing sticking up in the middle of it. I couldn't stand it any more. I browsed the internet for ideas, squished them all together and came up with this. It is 14" square at the base and about four feet tall. My plans consisted of a...

The Summer 2014 issue of Scroll Sawing magazine has a cute pattern for 2 different gnome yard ornaments. My sister is an avid flower gardener, and she has a lot of yard ornaments already. I thought the gnomes would be an interesting addition to her gardens. They are made from pressure treated...

Remember the Gnome door I built a while back? Well over the summer one moved in and made himself to home (yes, he's a lonely bachelor). I heard some activity out there today and the wife discovered that he had a fireplace chimney installed, has a bundle of chopped firewood and a snow shovel on...

Well, this is a birdhouse I had a lot of fun building today with my oldest son. The house is made of rough sawn cherry, live-edge black walnut and pine. We cut the body of the house from the cherry, assembled it with Titebond III and brads. Screwed on the base and brad nailed on the pine roof...

My "Gnome" phase continues. This little house is made from oak for the front, back and sides of the house and chimney, pine for the roof and cherry for the base. I used water-based stain and latex paint for the finishes. Maybe I'll grow out of this soon. Thanks for looking.

This is my first attempt at chainsaw carving. Started out as a beetlekill pine log, and taken apart with a mixture of Husqvarna and Makita, finished with colonial brown stain and clear coat

Aug 2, 2008 Today I got a big surprise!! in between rains, I went out to my gazebo and saw that the gnomes had been busy and made their own entrance to the building!!! Yes, I have a gnome door at my gazebo. The wall seems to be made from a piece of old barn board. The door appears to have...

Aug 03, 2008 Yesterday - I found a Gnome Door on my gazebo and today a Fairy Door showed up in my living room! Holy moly I'm being over run with the little creatures! The Wood It seems they used a piece of poplar (probably left over from one of our other projects). They carved out the panel...
