Make a gnome of wood
Before carving a gnome of wood, it is important to first determine the size of the block. Drawing the anatomy of your gnome will be easy. It will include the face, body as well as the feet, belt and hat. To create smooth corners, create V-cuts in certain areas of the face. Using a chisel or knife, make V-cuts in the appropriate places. Then, using a micro V-tool, cut out a piece of wood about 1.5mm thick. This will give a nice curved edge that you can use for your hat rim, and beard.

FAQ
What else should I know about woodworking in general?
It is easy for people to overlook the work involved in furniture making. Finding the right kind of wood is the most difficult part. It can be hard to choose from the many types of wood that are available.
Another issue is that wood does not have the same properties. Some woods will warp over time, others will split or crack. These things should be considered before you buy wood.
How can a beginner woodworker make money?
Many people are beginning to learn how build furniture to launch an online business. However, if you're just getting into furniture building, there are other options than selling on Etsy. You can sell at local craft fairs. Offering workshops could be another option for those who are interested in learning how to build their furniture. Perhaps you have some experience as a carpenter/builder and would like to offer your services, such as remodeling homes and creating custom pieces.
Where can I start woodworking?

You should first choose the project you wish to complete. You can make a simple box or a large entertainment center. Once you've settled on a project find a local skilled woodworker. Ask him or her for advice on what tools you'll need and where to find them. Perhaps you could ask if there is someone else who does this type of work.
What type of tools does a carpenter use?
A hammer is the most commonly used tool by carpenters. A hammer can be used to drive nails into wood. They can also use it to hold the pieces together as they work on a project. Other tools include clamps.

Always check the label before purchasing wood. The label should provide information about the wood species, moisture content, and whether preservatives have been used.
How much money does a hobbyist have to put into getting started?
A lot of capital is required to purchase the necessary supplies and tools if you want to start your own woodworking shop. The best place to start is by buying a small drill press, circularsaw, circular saw or sanding machine. These items aren’t too expensive so you won’t have to break the bank.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
