Default A duck, I think.
Other than the rude attempts at the Guilloche moulding yesterday, this is my first carving. I don't have many carving tools, and I think I started too small for what I have. It's about 3" long, and I did it all with the #1/12 chisel. I might try to do some detail if I get some smaller tools. I've also got to study some ducks to see what they really look like.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it must be a duck. Or any one of the three.
