Default Easter Bunny
My wife asked me to carve a bunny for our 2 year old grandson for Easter, so here's the result. Carved out of basswood, finished with a wash of burnt umber for the dark fur, and natural wood for the lighter areas, then water-based varnish and a coat of floor wax. The eyes and nose have a thin coating of epoxy so they're very shiny. Stands about 5 inches tall.

Claude I like that bunny a lot. Where did the pattern come from? I like the shiny nose and eyes. You use Future floor wax on the figure?

Thanks, all, for the nice comments.

Corey:
I modified the original pattern that appeared in "Carving Wooden Critters" by Diane Ernst. The wax is Johnson's one step liquid...

WOW! There are so many adorable bunnies being carved! Love these black eyes on him.

Maybe add a few long whiskers?
