Wood Spirit carved out of wild cherry. It has a Tung Oil finish. I like the way it seems to have a missing front tooth.

Bud stained this one and treated it with Tung Oil. These make nice gifts.

Vacuum box sitting on his work bench.
While Bud really enjoys carving with his Dremel, the dust was extremely problematic. He solved this problem by building a vacuum box. It’s just a 12×12 box with a 7×7 inset with 49 holes in the top with the vacuum attached to the base. He places the object he’s drilling on top and the vacuum pulls the dust right away. He still uses eye protection but his vacuum box virtually takes care of the dust problem making his dremelling much more pleasant.
Very creative way to take care of wood dust! And very creative carvings! (Although the second one would scare me at night – yes, I’m a nighttime scaredy cat. The first one looks puzzled and is judging me.) :)

Wow! Problem solving with the left brain AND bringing in the wood spirits with the right… And the fine arts bridging that gap, yep… You’re right, great gifts. Blessings!

Awesome idea! I love it. I’m still a bit timid when it comes to using my Dremel.
