Carved Thread Spools

Spool Wizard

Most of the work on the Wizard was done with a carving knife. Some early roughing out was done with a gouge. I want to thank Don Mertz for his carvings that were the inspiration for this Wizard.

This is supposed to be a hobbit. Most of the work was done with a knife. This guy was also inspired by the carvings of Don Mertz.

These guys preceded the Hobbit and Wizard. I figured if I could do these guys, I could do more detail.

Excellent work Dale. I look so forward to seeing your latest carvings. These latest spools are #1. I will certainly hate that you won’t make it to Wilmington this year.

Take care friend, Myron
