Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

I think I've seen the movie 'Frozen' too many times. But, I did like Olaf. I'll have to carve him soon. In the meantime, I've been busy carving these little guys. I don't use a pattern, just start with a 1 5/8" x 1 5/8" block 4" long and lay out the nose on a corner. Round the rest of the block, tapering the top to a smaller diameter. Use a v-tool to outline the scarf, hat and coat. Carve the areas down to the stop cuts. Add texture to the hat and scarf. I use a wood burner to darken the mouth after painted.
