Wizard Carving Out of Wood I Christmas Ideas

Christmas is in the air all around. My hubby got me a gift already - a Wizard Carving Kit from BeaverCraft. I found the box in the closet. I think he should hide gifts better :D
When I saw the box I was quite impressed, it looks so great. There is a wizard and lamp and books. Everything as I love. If they'd put a cup of coffee there, I think unpacked it quicker :D
So I didn't manage to leave it as it is. I opened the box in a few days.
Of course, my hubby got to know about that. Now he's looking for a new gift :D (happy me to get a bunch of gifts) While we did carve a wizard yesterday.
I'm happy to share it with you.
Supplies
As I mentioned above you can buy right away a kit from BeaverCraft just for $25 with the magical packaging.
Or you can get yourself necessary stuff:
- wood
- whittling knife
- sandpaper
- safety tape
- glue
- pattern
- pencil

Our journey to the fairytale starts now. We’re going to carve a wizard out of a small piece of wood. Make sure to choose the name for your wizard in the end! First, let’s draw the pattern for our wizard.
Hat Job

Let’s remove the upper part and work on a hat of our wise wizard.
Drawing Part

Draw the lines on your wooden block as you see in the picture.
Hat Job II

Again let’s do some work on a Wizard’s hat.
Drawing Part II

Draw the lines of the hat in the front and at the side.
Nose Job
![Screenshot at Dec 11 12-55-53.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FAK/2AGL/K3XFPRJL/FAK2AGLK3XFPRJL.png&filename=Screenshot at Dec 11 12-55-53.png)

Now make a smooth transition from the hat. Then make the deeper cuts along the contour. Do the job on the nose and deepen the face area.
Beard Job

We can’t forget about the beard, right? Make sure to work on it going along the lines.
Back Part Job

Afterward, draw the back part. Then make deeper cuts with a knife.
Finishing Touches

We need to draw the beard lines and deepen the beard. Our wizard looks glam :)

Make sure to draw the beard lines. And then cut along the contour.

We hope you enjoyed carving a wizard.
I loved carving a wizard a lot.
After the purchase, guys from BeaverCraft sent my hubby a video-tutorial by email. This was much useful and easy to follow.
