RavenBot Workshop : Carvings from Q4, 2025
Presented in reverse chronological order. Some may be available on my Etsy Shop.
25.12 Little hiker study
A smaller practice whittle, trying for more movement in the pose. With some woodburned details, danish oil finish.
New sticker and social badge
25.12 Hybrid work with some AI prompted concepts and then hand-drawn digital art (ProCreate) with final production art created in Illustrator.
#269, Gerald "Geronimo!" Hopps
25.12 Fun evolution of my Big Backpack Gnome idea, really glad with how his face turned out.
2512 Noggins
25.12 Some practice noggins in-between other carvings. Carved from 1-1/2” stock.
#268, Relaxed Santa
25.11 Carved for my parent’s for Christmas from a Bruce Ankeny roughout.
#267, St. Nick with blanket
25.11 My take at a flat plane santa, danish oil finish.
Sharpening TLC
25.11 It was time to put new edges on several knives and gouges. Stropping will keep a sharp edge sharp, but with enough carving time, edges need maintenance.
#266, Everitt Trailstead, big backpack gnome
25.11 Biggest Big Backpack Gnome yet! Carved from 4” stock, 12” tall.
#265, Sebastian Gwizdek, the whistling wanderer
25.10 Working towards a bit more dynamic poses and expressions. Carved white camping at Oceano Dunes SRVA in Pismo Beach. Stock and about 7” tall.
