Its frog!
A little woodcarving guy that looks kinda like a frog. Its made from burnt wood and its posed like a frog about to leap.

Its on top of some cardboard and behind it you can see a rag sitting in some oil and a rasp.

A new homemade carving knife has joined the club
A set of 3 obviously home made woodcarving knives a long thin one with a stubby bulbous handle. One that looks kinda like a big scalpel and a small chisel like one with a purple wooden handle.

Made a little one for the gang. Its fun to do these cause I don't have to pay as much attention to final details.

Sometimes stuff doesn't work! I tried to make a bigger anteater and unfortunately the 2 separate boards separated when I tried to do the burnt finishing process. But hey you gotta try things

The anteater is slender and in a low to the ground pose like a dog doing a play bow. the wood is burned black and slightly lustrous from the oil finish.
