Earlier this summer I was messing around in my yard and decided to whittle a chunk of stick that I found into a simple gnome. I was pretty happy with how he turned out and decided to make more to sell at craft fairs as pocket gnomes. Now, that first gnome (the red hat in the photo) was made of out pine. And pine is a hardwood, so it wasn't exactly easy to carve in the first place. So for the rest of the gnomes I'm working with basswood. It's much easier to cut though it lacks the rustic air of that first gnome.
