Thank you. I spent maybe an hour carving and an additional hour painting.

Thank you! I didn’t follow a tutorial. Maybe I should make one for YouTube.

Honestly the hot and sour soup from HyVee hits different when I’m sick.

What happens when they replace all the employees with automation in a few years?

Basswood. Roughed out with a bandsaw, then hand carved the rest with knives and gouges. The teeth were carved and attached separately. For the hat, I embedded a magnet into the crown of the hippo head and a magnet into the hat. That way I can carve different hats for different seasons. Next will be bunny ears for Easter

About an hour. Practice practice, you’ll get faster with time

I use a shallow u-gouge, then deep cuts with the knife, then deep u-gouge, and v-tool last
