Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

Sometime during the pandemic I bought a basic woodcarving kit on a whim, tried to follow along with Doug Linker's beginner wizard tutorial, but got discouraged and put everything into the closet when my wizard turned out lousy.

Today was such a pretty day that I figured I should try again. Wizard #2 turned out much better.

Needs a flared base, don't wanna go losing that thing.

Let me sand it down first! That wizard's got some rough edges.

Splintered for your pleasure

That's cool, I hope you enjoyed making it. Feels like it's an artisanal chess piece.

Looks like a whistle, or should I say...a wiztle. Good job!

What a well whittled wizard.

I knew a guy that carved Santa icicles and this reminds me of that. You should paint and/or stain it.

His were xmas tree ornaments. You could just hang that guy on your tree.

amazing for only your second attempt, and i imagine you'll just get a lot better from here.. i know mine would turn out looking like a mangled stick..

Omg that's hella cute! Once you really nail down your process/get more comfortable doing it, you should sell them on Etsy or something!

I'd love one of those guys as a little "Guardian" for D&D!

I can’t tell if he’s in agony or pleasure

Grumpy old man.

Looks great! The world can always use more wizards.
