How to make a gnome with wood
When carving a gnome out of wood, the first thing you need to do is determine the size of your wood block. Then, draw the anatomy of the gnome, including its face, body and feet. You will need to make a V-cut around the facial features to create smooth corners. Use a knife or chisel to make V-cuts at the correct places. You will then need to cut a piece approximately 1.5mm thick with a microV-tool. This will give you a nice curled edge for the beard and hat rim.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the pocket hole joint. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
