Keeping the fingers nimble.

[squbrigg]

I don't have a clue how many of these little bunnies I have made now, they are such darling little things and a real hit with the children. They are usually my "waiting room" carvings.

The wolf is something I like to do as well, just for practice, not small enough for a bracelet, but fun just the same. He stands about 4" tall.

Keeps my fingers nimble all this practice does! Try it, you'll like it.

The bunny is a cutey Bob, and I swear I can hear that wolf howl from here. Nice pieces, thanks for showing them.

Those are some neat carvings. Great pose for the bunny and I think I hear the wolf howling as I type.

For practice? I wish my practice pieces would look like that, or at least resemble somethign, ANYTHING......

Nice work

I think you've hit onto a good topic Bob. I 'practice' more that I try to carve a pre-determined, structured subject....just for the purpose of "keeping my fingers nimble".

Doing this also helps keep the MIND nimble!

Your Bunny is adorable! Do you paint them up or leave as is?

The bunny is adorable and so is the wolf. I'd say grownups would love one of these too.

Bob,

That's practice? They're both great carvings. The bunny looks like he just walked out of the pages of a children's book and I can almost hear the wolf howling.

Thanks folks, they are fun. They will be burned and painted, the wolf needs some more carving yet, have to finish the feet and face some. My Huskey Kira makes a great model for the wolf, not much difference in them, except Kira is heavier and she has the typical Siberian face markings.
