GANDALF









GANDALF THE GREY

This is the third figure of January 2008. Gandalf, who, as most people probably know, is the good wizard in J.R.R. Tolkien's books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and in the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. Believe it or not, it took a long time to make that hat!

ELMO





ELMO

Elmo is the second figure that I made in January 2008. This is also the first figure that I sold. He is actually the second wooden Elmo that I have ever made. The first one was made on a lathe about ten years ago. He's still around, so I'll have to post a picture of him on here some time.

ANDREW







ANDREW

Andrew is the first figure that I've made in nine years, and only the second completly hand carved figure that I've ever made. This Andrew figure is based on my six year old son. He's wearing jammies that he got for his birthday and holding his Blues Clues blanket.
