The day you make something useful like those "genocidal tankie scum", I'll contribute to you too.

Make something better that people want to use or shut up.

It's supposed to be the easiest wood to carve for beginners, and it does carve quite nicely if you get the right variety. I bought some poor quality basswood off a no-name Amazon brand and it was quite tough.

Basswood. Got it off a guy on eBay.

I think it will more convincingly look like Tux once he's painted. (Hopefully)

Just the one knife - a flexcut roughing knife (KN14). I followed dywoodcarving on YouTube for the chick, and made the Tux by myself.

It's actually supposed to be Tux, but I'll take that :)

Thanks! First time painting something in my adult life :)

 
 

It's a low bar to make the California flag better, but I woke up and decided to give it a go. It's my first attempt. Let me know what you think

I posted this to Reddit a few years ago.

I followed Paul Sellers' method, but used a 2x3 Douglas fir for the material. It turned out quite heavy and durable.
