This is a quest to make all the slides featured in the Whittlin Jim's "Slide of the Month" in Boy's Life magazine. (Hopefully without doing lasting damage to my hands or fingers.) Blogging my progress along the way. I completed my task in March of 2017 and now post my own designs along with some other "Slide of the Month" contributors.

Sioux Chief
Sometime between 2012 and 2015
Time to carve: 3.5 hours
Finishing: 2 hour
Another slide carved during Merit Badge Uninversity at UMASS Amherst I think a couple of years ago. I had a couple of adults ask me about what I was carving while I was chipping away, well here's the result. Carved from red maple with my trusty knife and a lot of sharping using a home brew recycled computer hard drive sharpener system. A couple of coats of poly finish this off.
There is something about the non-descript face and the almost weathered look that appeals to me.
