No carving is involved with this project -- we promise. Just use the provided full size patterns for all pieces and follow the detailed instructions that guide even the most novice woodworker to success. Create this interesting piece to add to your Christmas season this year and you'll enjoy him for seasons to come, then he's sure to get passed down as a sturdy family heirloom. Woodolph stands 32" tall and is 27" long. Look for the Mini Woodolph, too, for a smaller version!
