Flat-Plane Figurine (David Pico)
Introduces flat-plane (faceted, not rounded) carving on the standard 1x1x4 block, a distinct style from the rounded figures elsewhere in the library.
Once stop cuts, rounding, and basic detail work stop feeling new, these 10 projects are where to go next. They lean on tools and techniques beyond the pure straight-knife beginner set, hook knives, longer blanks, more deliberate proportion work, so check each project's gear list before you start.
This isn't the full intermediate list in the library, just a suggested first ten.

Taller and more tapered than the pawn/rook, practice for cleaner long push cuts.
Part of a full chess set series, most detailed piece to carve of the set, save for after pawns.
First project with a face, more detail work than bird/whale/fish. Good next step once those feel comfortable.
Alternative gnome tutorial to the BeaverCraft one above, with its own downloadable template.
Same hook-knife requirement as the other spoon above, plus a decorative feather handle.
A gnome ranger figure with a carved sword on the standard 1x1x4 block, first entry from a new fantasy-figure series.
Needs a hook knife for the bowl, not just a straight knife, a new tool to pick up before trying this one.
A Halloween witch caricature on the standard 1x1x4 block, a longer seasonal alternative to the library's quicker Halloween projects.
Not a whittling-knife project, flat board work with a v-gouge and paint to finish the chess set series.
