I've never seen gnomes that big!!! Great looking too! I use a lot of Titebond wood glue and have never had a glue-up fail on me. You can't glue 2x6's together without flattening all of the mating surfaces.Clamp them together with several clamps and leave for 24 hours.I guarantee you that the wood will fail before any Titebond wood glue joints do! Titebond comes in 3 different grades. Number 1 is for general use and is not water resistant. Type 2 is water resistant Type 3 (is what I use) is waterproof and has the longest work time.I use it on end grain cutting boards and although the cutting boards get washed and abused I have never had a cutting board fail. Good luck and have fun!
Try using a big dowel make 4, 5 or more 1 in DOWELLs glue glue glue put cuts across the boards also then maybe epoxy instead of glue or use Gorilla glue that’s what I would do just the inner boards maybe hey it’s covered with fur anyway even if you go all the way thru just don’t do the top board of the hat all the way thru epoxy will hold much better Gorilla Glue is also good

Gotta love Happy Accidents! All 3 turned out awesome! Great job!
Thanks buddy!
It maybe not what you wanted. But I think they look Great.😀.Tomorrow try Again . Jim's wood shop.
If you used pressure treated wood it may have been to wet. Glue and wet wood won't stay together very long. Use a moisture meter. Looks great 👍.

Did you make the pipes?
@@MrLeonard55 I did. I turned the bowl portion on the lathe and then used a piece of copper tubing for the stem.
Cool
How much do they sell for
Prices range from $18 to $120 depending on the size. The biggest one from this batch was $120.
Hey great job thanks for the comeback I never made one I'll have to make one thanks again
I think they're neat
