That first pic reminds me of Private.

It's actually supposed to be Tux, but I'll take that :)

My first thought was he wants me to install Linux, I got tux from it

That's it! Couldn't dig that out of my slow memory, haha

I thought it was Tux, you nailed it
akincisor@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y
I think it will more convincingly look like Tux once he's painted. (Hopefully)

The thumbnail reminded me of the Löwenmensch figurine

What sort of knives are you working with?
akincisor@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y
Just the one knife - a flexcut roughing knife (KN14). I followed dywoodcarving on YouTube for the chick, and made the Tux by myself.

Haha, for anyone else puzzled who's seen dywoodcarving before: "followed dywoodcarving's guide for carving a baby chick"

Nice carvings. What species of wood is that?
akincisor@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y
Basswood. Got it off a guy on eBay.
canajac@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y
Ahh yes, basswood. Never seen this wood species.
akincisor@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y
It's supposed to be the easiest wood to carve for beginners, and it does carve quite nicely if you get the right variety. I bought some poor quality basswood off a no-name Amazon brand and it was quite tough.
