Driftwood Spirit Power Carving
First collect your piece of driftwood. Try to get a solid heavy piece without any bugs.
Collect Your Tools
Bits were purchased at Home Depot and Harbor Freight. I inherited the Dremel tool.
I Like Big Bits (and I Cannot Lie)
Start hogging out the outline with your big bit
Sketch the Outlines
Find the center of your face and sketch the nose, beard and eyebrows since they will stick out the furthest
Hog Out the Shape
Some call it blocking out, but I call it Hoggin'. Mmm Hmm
Adding Details
I used the edge if my big bit to make lines in the beard and eyebrows
You Never Know What You're Gonna Get
I continue working the piece until I feel good about where it's going. It gets frustrating sometimes.
Finer Bit for Details
Switch your bit to a finer one and lightly refine the shapes. Nose and eyes are the most challenging to me.
Even Finer Bit
Keep working down the bit size as you progress to finish.
Here's Looking at You Bit
I like to have my faces giving a little side eye instead of straight ahead.
