WHITTLE DWARFS II
Whittle Dwarfs are whimsical whittlings that are primarily all head with the semblance of a squatty body and small feet left to imagination. Whittle Dwarfs begin as an inch square by an inch and half tall block of basswood. Their eyes are covered with a hat showing a nose protruding from under the hat. The rest of the face can be carved with a variety of mustache and beard styles as well as some with a toothy grin or a mouth carved with various expressions.
Whittle Dwarfs are a fun way to carve a variety of faces with the challenge to carve no two alike. They are finished with Howard Feed N Wax. The photographs offer a variety of faces for inspiration to carve Whittle Dwarfs in a style all your own.
