        1. Making a little dog for my girl. Though, given this rather solid block of wood... I may have bitten off more than I can chew!

        Sketched a rough outline on the side. That too/front bit is the dog's face. Lots of whittling to be done!

      Started to focus on the head - just to give myself something to aim for. I'm starting to see him s little...

    This is where I've stopped for the day (I've got a week off, which means attempting to reduce my computer time and do other things!). That took about 2 hours. Only sliced one knuckle in the process. Shoulders and feet tomorrow I think.

      Continued with the dog doodle today. I can't quite fathom how I'm supposed to get *though* and under the dog legs.

        Started hacking a poking. The wood looks terrible but figure I'll fix it in the edit/sandpaper.

          Had a good go at the tail too - just for some distraction, looks less like a beaver now (though still erring heavily on the side of some kind of bear!)

            Got through finally. Looks very rough (and bear-like). I sat for about 4½ hours doing this, totally overshooting lunch. I'm amazed I'm though and under. Got between front legs too (but still have back to do). Then got to work on proportions. (Tomorrow!)

              Had to sharpen tools today and made some adjustments that meant the dog has little room for their eyeballs.

                Starting to see the dog again (rather than a damn bear). And managed to get under and between all the legs finally. But now I need to shrink the dog's arse!

                  Sanding is pretty much my only hope to get all the busted wood cleaned up under their belly. First run done with 60 grit. Probably need another run - the plate they're standing on is still fairly rough. At least it's moved more towards dog and less bear.

                    Second phase of sanding done. Started with 60 grit, then 100, then 120. I'm a bit of an obsessive when it comes to sanding and probably don't need to go so far. Last step is to wax the doggy in bees wax (my ears don't provide enough it would appear).

                      And there's the finished doggy. All buffed with bees wax, standing upright and looking pretty darn good if I say so myself (as a beginner). Can't quite get over the fact this object started out as a completely solid block of wood. Still kinda baffles me!
