Thanks everyone. My wife is a preschool teacher and they have a collection of penguins at school that the kids like. She is going to add mine to the collection.

Great job. My wife thought they were cute and we had several on the tree. They are now hibernating. Mine were poplar.

Cute little fellow! I prefere basswood , but have carved a lot of pine in the past, . As Brian says.. lots of stop cuts and be very careful in doing the details. Easy to lose an ear or a nose...

That's terrific paint. Maybe carve examples of all the different species of penguins?

Carving conifer woods, you need lots of stop cuts. Prying is Verboten!

Nice carving, Flint, and Doug Linker uses pine sometimes but I haven't tried it yet.

"Plucky" from Sara Barraclough's article in the last issue. I carved him from a scrap piece of 2x4 pine.
