I like carving figures, and a gargoyle was a real challenge. Luckily, there are a lot of images from which to get ideas.
Gargoyle is made from Sweetgum. The shaft is simply straight, but I carefully carved off the outer bark leaving the inner bark veneer. The gargoyle is about 9 inches long. The shaft is thin and fit into the bottom of the handle. A dowel screw and epoxy holds the pieces securely so there is no mark at the top.
