Several people have asked if I have a dolphin carving pattern. I have some dolphin cutouts that somebody gave me a while back, so I just traced the large one on a piece of paper and scanned it. This is the same basic pattern I used for my dolphin experiment a while back.

That’s a reduced copy of the pattern. Unfortunately, I have lost access to the full-sized image. If you want a larger figure than this pattern provides, you can probably enlarge the pattern image without losing any critical information.

The full sized pattern gave a figure that’s approximately 8.5 inches long and 4.8 inches tall. For a figure that size, you’ll want two inch stock.

To resize, simply load the file into your favorite photo editor and tell it how large you want the figure. A figure half that long (4.25 inches) will require one inch stock.

If you use this pattern, I’d sure like to see the result. Leave a comment or send me email with a picture.

Happy carving!
