Wood carvers are a strange lot in that any piece of wood is seen as having potential for a carving project.  The lowly golf tee has that potential so here are some caricature examples of using a golf tee as a carving novelty.  The shape of the golf tee dictates the basic shape while imagination works to create something in that basic shape.  These twelve examples were carved using a knife in slicing cuts in the Whittle-Carving style.  Howard Feed-N-Wax was applied to the carved areas to give depth of perception to enliven the carved cuts.

I am indebted to my good friend Don Stephenson for suggesting carving on golf tees.  They are fun and whimsical carving projects.

The old carver’s law: “Don’t let any wood  go un-carved.”
