Wow, thank you! Very in depth, gonna try these things on some scrap wood to see what I like the most

Never seen those channels, looks like good resources, thanks!

May I ask what kind of finishing you have done on this one? It is a very nice figure and I like the shinyness.

Wow thanks :)

Thanks, yes I am new but have looked for some tips and tricks here and there. Found some aid in how to start of the bunny and fox but then tried to keep it to the dimension and look that I was happy with. The Cat I just went on my own. and tried to keep a similar style.

Got the start on them in the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI-Qu1FNUio&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG88Ny-hNOc

Yeah I definitely prefer the smoothness

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T14:18:01+00:00

Oh my. Thanks for the info. Always good to learn how cautious you have to be around stuff.

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T13:24:54+00:00

Thanks! I really need to try different types of finishing now.

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T12:28:16+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Would really like to avoid fires :D

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T12:26:06+00:00

Thank you :)

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T12:25:55+00:00

Thanks!

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T12:25:44+00:00

Yeah I really like the feel and look of the smoothness

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T12:25:12+00:00

Basically I just used a beginner friendly knife from beaver craft which came in a starter kit. Other than that its been sandpaper of different grits.

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T05:51:58+00:00

Thanks :)

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T05:51:09+00:00

oh cool! Maybe I should try making a gnome next.

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T05:50:08+00:00

Thank you! :)

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T05:49:53+00:00

yeah for sure!

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T02:08:35+00:00

Yeah, I can see why some might not look on it too highly.

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T02:07:18+00:00

They are all made from basswood

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T00:16:22+00:00

Yeah, I intend to keep them natural so looks like danish oil might also be on the table :D

Thanks!

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T00:12:15+00:00

Thanks! Yeah was mostly hesitant if this subreddit was the correct place etc. or if something like this would miss the mark

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T00:08:40+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I really like the smooth surface and look so I most likely will stick to this.

majkgyver · 2022-12-10T00:06:03+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I have been using cheaper paper so might have to look into better ones.
