Carving a Hidden Greenman

In this video I show you how to carve a hidden Greenman with his leaves and happy disposition. New takeaways include learning to carve the exposed upper eyelid instead of the hooded type, turning a face away from the viewer, and creating detailed flowing leaves. Hope you enjoy making this little character as much as I did.

TOOLS USED:

If you do not have the same tools, remember you do not have to have the exact same sizes-- just within the same size range. For example a #4 25mm can be replaced with a #2 or #3 in a similar width. #4 -25mm (gouge)

  • #11 -4mm (veiner)

  • #9 -6mm (gouge)

  • #9 -16mm (gouge)
