I ran across a little carved dog online and thought I’d duplicate it. After I’d finished and posted it on the woodcarving forum, I discovered that the original pattern came from Larry Green’s book, First Projects for Woodcarvers. My little dog didn’t turn out exactly like the one I saw, or like the one in the book. But it’s close. Next time I’ll do a little better job on the eyes and ears.
The little dog is about two inches tall, two inches deep, and one inch wide.
Some people doodle on paper with a pencil. I had a scrap of walnut, my pocket knife, and few extra minutes. So I doodled in walnut. The entire piece is two inches tall.
