 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 Last edited by Claude : 03-15-2008 at 09:41 PM.  |

| Re: Easter Bunny 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? Corey |

| Re: Easter Bunny 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... Claude |
