Default Last in Peter Rabbit series

Mr. Benjamin Bunny Senior is the final character the I am carving in the Peter Rabbit series. He is carved in Butternut, has been burned and is all ready for painting. My painter should be here today, and she is very much looking forward to painting this one! He's a little bit taller than the others, and I had to place him on a base for support. I'm happy with the results!

I'll post pictures of the completed bunny when we're done!

Bob

That series of books were some of my favorites as a child. You've brought them to life. I am sure they will be cherished for generations.
Is a habitat next?

Thor .... good point, I've been considering habitat .... perhaps a two story or one that opens or two sided. One part the rabbit hole/home and the other part Mr. McGregor's garden. We'll see, just a thought at this point.

Thank you folks for your encouragement, they are a delight to do and her expression when I present another to be painted is worth the world!
