My neighbor, Dave the bowl turner gave me a 12" long piece of Ginko
log. It's about 9" in diameter, cut in half lengthwise, bark still
on. He knows I'm just getting into carving.
I'd like to carve a face coming out of the bark. I've seen some in
some past mags, but can't remember enough about it to search
effectively.
Can someone point me to books or what it is called? I'm thinking in
particular of faces of a mountain man or mythical creatures like
gnomes or the like.

Yeah, I've seen something like it on the shelf in tall paperback, but can't
think of it at the moment.
http://members.aol.com/Gnomes2k/stray.html Working along the search for
gnomes or garden spirits (sprites) should bring paydirt.
Been to rec.crafts.carving?
