Nothing fancy just rounding edges and adding some v cuts. Then decide on a color for paint.

Looking good! Red sock body with green heels and maybe white or gold top rim would be my opinion

Looks great Doug, where in the world are you finding sticks with a crook like that?

Do you first use a coping saw or other type of saw to cut the large portions of unneeded wood from your block?

I’ve been on the scroll saw quite a bit lately cutting out ornaments, I need to get a 1/8 blade for my bandsaw, it’s sure a lot quicker. I’ve made 6 more Grinch ornaments and a crescent moon shaped Santa one. I’ll post some pics when I get him painted.

Amazing what happens when a patient person is given a sharp knife. And talent helps too.

We have quite a "flock" around the house now. On the full size, I still use my Grandpa's RT Brand draw knife that is over 100 years old. Wow, what an edge you can put on that one.
What kind of wood do you use for the ducks?
