Baby Ducks trying to carve them Help please!

[woodfish]

Howdy folks i was thinking about trying to carve a few small baby ducks,
If anyone has any advise when carving say 4 - 5 inch baby ducks? let me know please..
I Dont need the ducks feet in the carving,, i just want them to look like they are in swimming in the water straight forward nothing complex..
Im not to much into detail yet i just want the 3d shape ..I just cant figgure out how to make THE shape..
What type of wood and what tools should i look at..
If any one has any pictures step by step that would be super and very much appreciated....

Super site here Folks A+

Go to a store that sells the little yellow plastic baby ducks. I think I saw them in Target the other day. Now's a good time to look around because it's close to Easter and it's Spring.

Did you look on 'decoycarvingforum.com' yet? I've seen baby ducks there, and you always see them at the Ward show (April 25 this year).

Hi, did a few Mallard Ducklings quite some time ago. They were Christmas stocking stuffers for my grand children. thought they might be of some help to you.

Ya thats the shape of the baby ducks i wanted,,
Again if anyone has a dozen of baby ducks laying around in rough shape they have no use for let me know..
They dont have to be pretty just all the same and unfinished so i can paint them and fine carved them..
Thanks
