I forgot to take a shot at the very beginning before I started carving, but this is still a pretty early stage. You can see the round little body, and the head is mostly carved as well - still details to go. You can see my design and tools in the foreground, and on the back of the table are the cutouts for the hands, feet and legs. Martin pre-cuts them to the dimensions of the design, but they come out squared off, as you can see, and then the carver has to go from there. I'm really enjoying it so far - sharp things make fun toys! :)
