Do you wanna build a snowman?

[Gizmo3k]

More of a concept than anything else, I need to get a nice hardwood for the next one. Fun though!

I like that a lot!

I like that a lot!

So do I. A well judged and happy placement of the dead knot as well. Have you thought about cutting off his hat and re-fitting it at a jaunty angle?

Brilliant Alan, I absolutely love it.

 

[Dalboy]

A great snowman like the knot as the mouth

 

[Buckeye]

The knot makes the snowman quite individual

A slimline snowman. Very nice indeed and very well placed knot as the mouth

Very nice. Do you really need to make it from hardwood?

 

[Paul]

Love it.

I don't 'need' to, although I suspect with a 3 year old and a 4 year old, this one might get a 'worn' look fairly soon

I would like to make more of them, but the fence post I had was a pain to work with - parting off left a very rough edge (which I hid with the shavings ), I will try to finish it nicely tonight.

Once I turned down the basic shape, I just thought the knot was perfect!

Nice snowman well done I made the mistake of making one last year and every body bloody wanted one LOL

Lovely job mate well done. I made a load of these this year and they all went very well at the 2 school CHRISTMAS fairs that I done.

I need to do some smaller ones too - that one is about 10" tall, was made from a 4" fence post. Will try to make some for the kids, then maybe my nephew and 6 nieces!

I had an idea for a snowman based knitting dolly with a removable hat (the hat being a handle for the needle) but I am not sure if I will get around to it!

Looks great well done.
