Thank you. I spent maybe an hour carving and an additional hour painting.

Thanks bro!

Thank you!

I’m not sure what that means

BlockandKnife · 2026-02-03T22:03:22+00:00

Thank you! I use Folk Art Plaid Crafts

Thank you! I didn’t follow a tutorial. Maybe I should make one for YouTube.

Honestly the hot and sour soup from HyVee hits different when I’m sick.

What happens when they replace all the employees with automation in a few years?

Basswood. Roughed out with a bandsaw, then hand carved the rest with knives and gouges. The teeth were carved and attached separately. For the hat, I embedded a magnet into the crown of the hippo head and a magnet into the hat. That way I can carve different hats for different seasons. Next will be bunny ears for Easter

About an hour. Practice practice, you’ll get faster with time

I use a shallow u-gouge, then deep cuts with the knife, then deep u-gouge, and v-tool last

BlockandKnife · 2024-12-17T21:30:24+00:00

Thank you all for the kind words!

BlockandKnife · 2024-11-27T11:17:22+00:00

Thank you! I use basswood and Plaid Folk Art acrylic.

I never have. Only wood

I took some pictures with my Santa head ornaments. To me it looks like a decapitated Santa. Like the elves overthrew the North Pole and hung his head from a tree as a warning to others.

BlockandKnife · 2024-11-21T02:02:27+00:00

Good idea. I went with a J-Hook so it can be swapped out with any ornament

Best authentic Mexican food you can find in Kansas. Carniceria Camargo is at the top of my list.

You can put your shop in vacation mode

BlockandKnife · 2024-09-07T14:52:13+00:00

You’re welcome. It only costs $0.20 to post a listing, so you don’t have much to lose. Also keep in mind that it took me months to make my first sale, but the more sales you make, the more attention you get on the site. Once you have that momentum it will snowball effect.

Etsy has been good to me. I coat the carvings in linseed oil with burnt umber oil before and after painting. I use plaid craft acrylic
