That would make a cool candy dish.
Fantastic fun piece of work. But WTF! attaching the arms before finishing off the base man that must have made you twitch during the finishing. Great piece, thanks for sharing
Heid Bumbee x I was thinking the same thing. Id have attached the nose & arms once off the lathe. Nice dimensions on the head, hat and bottom. Nice burning technique too.
looks great!
Very nice.
Хороший снеговик получился! 👍
Never cared for pyrography but now I do. Well done.
Thank you Mark !! I'm glad I was able to show you pyro in a different light !! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated. Regards Steve.
Best snowman yet.
Lol Gary, plenty of Snowmen for Alan and Carl to choose from alright :-)... Glad you like it mate, thanks a million, Steve.

Great skills, what are you using to put black lines on
Brilliant
I made a pair of these, and they are great for the season. Thank you.
Hello Steve, Great job.. he's a cheeky chappie! , like the pyro face and the log base just sets him off nice, Good luck in the challenge mate! Cheers Bram. ps great video angles , a well produced video!!
Hi Bram. Thanks a million mate, ive been experimenting with the camera and editing, glad you liked it mate. The snowman is a fun wee project to make.
thanks for watching, Steve.
Great job I make a few of these but I cheat on the holder I cut the recess with a fostner bit then clean it up I get a great fit that way and I'm going to pinch your idea on the arms I have always used twigs from our trees anyway Merry Christmas from Downunder
Sweet snowman, always a classy choice, loved how you burned those lines using a hard wood, I use a piece of formica, just because my architect wife have full folders of formica samples she gets from contractor and the kids have maxed out the fun to be had with those... :) good job on the pyrography as well! Good luck man, and a merry Christmas!!
Hey Yuval!! Yep the friction burning is a nice effect alright, simple too! I'll give you my address and maybe you can pass on some of those samples ;-)...
Thanks a million Yuval, Happy Christmas to you and your family too.
Steve.
Love your snowman but would have been much better if you had narrated the video telling us what you were doing.
Me en canta todo. Los munecos que haces
Excellent! New turner, new subscriber! Steve, what kind of wood did you use for the burning embellishments?
Hi, I used a strip of plastic coated hardboard, the kind of stuff from the back of cheap flatpack cupboards ? But you can use formica, plywood, or even a bunched up paper towel ...
what size piece of wood did you start with?
He's great Steve. Seeing your video this year. I want to make snowmen, and you've given me some great ideas. Very nice job - he's so cute :) Jan
Thank you Jan, Im happy i inspired you :-)...... Thanks for watching and commenting, regards Steve.
Hey Steve - what is it your using to burn the hat rim and highlights?
Hi Janice, I use a piece of hardboard with laminate on it, like laminated flooring board ..... but you can use any piece of hard wood that will cause friction.... make sure it has a smooth surface though, to stop damaging the work piece.......
Hope this helps, Regards Steve.
Woozer, I'm definitely going to get some, will pm you on FB
Hi Annie!! yep ya better get your order in alright I'm flat out turning for the next fair!!!
Glad you like him ;-)
Thanks for watching, regards, Steve.
what you using to blacken the wood? are you burning it?
I was using a paper towel to friction burn it yes 👍
Hi Steve, I noticed you used a piece of hardwood to burn the lines, but what is it that you used for the scarf and face, buttons? Nice job by the way. Thanks!
Looked like a soldering iron
Love that little man, he is so cute. Only just discovered this, hope you did well in the challenge. What did you use to burn the hat?
hi hi hi. I really like your design. do you have measurements? I want to try and make one like yours and I am not good at proportions.
Hey buddy, you got me there !! I never measure them to be honest.. I think my wife has one knocking around so I will take a few measurements and put them here a bit later on for you.... Thanks for watching and commenting, regards, Steve.
what did he use for the details (face and scarf etc )
+Jason Cox Hi !! I used a pyrography pen to draw the details, its a heated iron similar to a soldering iron except hotter and with different nibs !!! Thanks for watching and for your question, regards, Steve.
+Templeboy Turnings thankyou so much for the quick reply!! and thankyou! I'll definitely get one of these
Your welcome !!, Steve.
