Learning how to carve a simple gnome has never been easier! With the new, reusable Gnome Stencil Kit, you can get an exact layout every time.
Gnomes are a great project for beginner carvers because while relatively easy to carve, carving a gnome can help a carver learn many basic skills throughout the project. Gnomes can easily be customized for any season or holiday.
The Gnome Stencil Set comes with 4 different sizes of stencils: 1", 1.5", 1.75", and 2". There are no written instructions that come with this stencil set, but you can watch every cut with the a full-length YouTube tutorial.

The Gnome Stencils will help you layout all the lines to carve the face and brim of the hat. The top of the hat can be customized to whatever shape you like. You can use either 3/8" or 1/2" thick basswood (sold separately).
