Wood Spirit

I finished carving this Wood Spirit in October 2010. It is carved from piece split from a cedar log.




Ledgend of the Wood Spirit

The Wood Spirit is said to rule the forest. He is very elusive and folks rarely if ever see him. However most feel his presence when walking through a forest alone especially at night. He is a friendly protector to those of good will but can mete out his wrath on the black hearted. He is usually very quiet and still, but sometimes when the wind blows you can hear him whisper and sometimes groan. It is said that anyone who sees him is the lucky one indeed. That person will be blessed with happiness and good fortune. Next time you go for a walk in the forest, be still and listen!

This is my version of the Wood Spirit.

Below are photos of the woodspirit from the beginning and progressing to the final
product. I've not included any text with each picture as it's fairly self explanitory.
