Wood is gathered in the mountains at about 7000 feet. Each piece is the branch base (pine knot) of the Jeffery Pine Tree, which is removed from the decayed trunk. The branch bases will outlast the trunk wood by decades and are remarkably solid and dense.
After gathering the wood, the artist (Craig Knox) cleans and planes each piece. The forest spirit is then ready to be revealed. Using both dremel tools and hand chisels the task of carving the gnome that best “fits” the particular piece of wood is undertaken. The artist generally must “see” who is in the wood before he can begin.
The finished piece is then drilled, labeled, signed on the back and, finally, sealed with exterior polyurethane.
Forest Gnomes have been made for centuries in Europe, some being handed down from generation to generation. It is believed these forest spirits guard anything with wood in it (your home for example), warding off evil spirits and bringing good luck to those they watch over.
Size- 6"h by 6"w Artist Comment: "A full bearded Spirit in windy conditions, revealed in a Douglas Fir knot." A fun piece.
