I've been carving pencils for about 7 years now (you might know my train pencils) in addition to my other artwork. This winter, I decided to create a new series using pencils with 3mm (almost 1/8") lead. This time it's all about 'hands' and will be part of a larger series down the road.
Living in Nebraska gives me a long winter to plan for indoor projects!

"A Feather In The Wind" - I Carved The Feather From Padauk Wood And Set It In The Hand
Padauk wood is dense BUT not so dense at this scale! I ran into a lot of holes as I thinned this out. I re-carved it 3 times, it was too big and I kept running into holes, which made it fall apart when it was paper thin.
Final score:
1point

"If I Had A Hammer" - It Would Be Tiny
I used padauk wood for the handle on this one. In the past I have used a toothpick, I Love the color of this wood though.
Final score:

"A Bird In The Hand" - Just A Tiny Bird In A Tiny Hand!
The bird is a speck of graphite with the naked eye!

"Scout Salute" - A Fun Tribute To My Youth!
This may look like a simple carving... But it was more complicated than it looks because of the way the thumb crosses over.
Final score:

"With This Ring" - Not The Rock She Is Expecting
I had to carve this ring box 4 times. The ring is a sliver from the smallest gold chain that I could find. The most difficult thing with this carving was setting that tiny speck of gold in the box!
