This blog is all about carving - tips and techniques, works in progress, completed projects, how to instructions, and future plans.
Note that Phaal Nap (Fail Nap) is a pseudonym, nom de plume, and anagram for Hal Papan. I usually write when I can't sleep. Ergo, Fail Nap. Of course, Hal Papan is my nom de couteau (knife name instead of pen name) and anagram for my real name, Alan Happ.

Sometimes a face just jumps out of the wood. Toothy was just such a case for an oak stick. The knots were placed perfectly of crazy googley eyes and a warty knot-thing on the forehead. I left some bark on around the eyes to accentuate them. I turned a split in the wood into the mouth with crazy teeeth. The carving was light tan colored except for the eye area and the top (hair?).

The stick had a motley natural appearance. I used a dark stain to highlight the different sections.
