Whittle Gnome

“Out of the mouths of babes…”

Leave it to the youngest of our grandchildren (let’ call him little “Georgie”), to explain to everyone else about last year’s Christmas ornaments: “Grandpa hasn’t learned to carve eyes yet.”

Yep! Got me!

So, when I decided to mimic the “Whittle Dwarfs” carved by Don Stephenson and featured on Don Mertz’s “WoodBeeCarver” site, I added eyes. It’s a cute little gnome, just under 2 inches tall. … and it has eyes!
