When carving a gnome out of wood, the first thing you need to do is determine the size of your wood block. Drawing the anatomy of your gnome will be easy.

The Gnomes of the Underdark and other RPGs usually have one recurring character: David. This character does not seem crazy. Telepathy, Can't Argue With Elves, and Speak Fluent Animal are some of his traits. He has the ability to put up road signs and throw people off. David and Lisa could even have a rivalry.

How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
We use many methods to measure wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
A digital caliper can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot along the line. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
