Having scavenged some free branches from the side of the road (thanks Highway Dept!), I went ahead and whittled up a few spike trolls from the nearly wrist-sized wood. Give it a try yourself! Just shave a flat-ended stick to a point, carve a shallow notch for the face area, then draw on the face. Sharpie is my marker of choice. A spike troll is an easy whittlin' for beginners and grizzled old timers alike.
These things are cuter than a pail full of kittens.
