Recently I am creating wooden toys, I have been a little shy regarding showing them here because I was not sure if they would garner interest.. I have more complex and bigger toys than Twp both complete and in the making but I'm showing Twp because I know some people like my sona and I finished it today and did photoshoot!
If you like this kind of thing please do let me know! Very encouraging! I never see people posting wood toys so I'm not very sure
I whittled a Totoro for a friend of mine for Christmas. She has an upcoming first time trip to Japan coming up in the new year and I wanted to make her something to bring with her.
The figurine is made in basswood and was way harder to do than expected. I'm considering myself a relatively experienced wood carver and the carving itself was fine. But getting a nearly round character looking correct from all angles was more complicated than I anticipated!
