| | Peter Rabbit as a baby. My wife and I were invited to the first birthday party of the beautiful little daughter good friends of ours. Not a lot of time before the party on Saturday, but enough for me to turn out a special piece for Addison, a very special little girl. I just hope I can finish it in time, started last night by glueing up four pieces of Butternut to make it thick enough and began roughing out today.
It's coming along better than I expected. No pattern, just an idea, Mrs Rabbit with ![006[1]](http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/forum/images/smilies/006[1].gif) Peter, in a rocking chair. Wish me luck.

| | Re: Peter Rabbit as a baby. Bob,
If I didn't like you so much, I'd hate you!
This is so adorable. Knowing the other rabbits you've carved, I can't wait to see the finished piece!
I'm still trying to visualize how you even carved out that rocking chair.

| | Re: Peter Rabbit as a baby. She'll be tickled to receive such a gift. Impressed to see you carve everything together like you did...with the chair actually incorporated into your carving.

| | Re: Peter Rabbit as a baby. Finished the detailing and burning and applied a coat of sealer, it's still wet as the phots will show. Paint tomorrow. I'm happy with it now, I had to re-do the eyes, they looked too scary, now they are gentler.
Thanks for the encouragement folks, I hope she likes it.

| | Re: Peter Rabbit as a baby. Hi BOB, You did that in 1 day? That would take me at least a Week. Great Gift for a lucky Little Girl. Merle | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
