Turn this woodland favorite into an adorable spring decoration<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

By Desiree Hajny<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks to popular media, we can\u2019t help associating our long-eared friends with spring. I\u2019ve had several batches of young bunnies in my backyard and always enjoy watching each one\u2019s development from wide-eyed little creature to majestic adult. For this project, make sure not to carve off too much wood too quickly; you\u2019ll need that volume later for the ears and tail, and to create a supple fur texture around the cheeks and ruff. After you finish this project, build yourself a custom paint rack<\/a> to keep all your paints organized in your workspace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Getting Started<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Draw the front-view pattern onto the blank. Cut around the perimeter with a band saw. Then, remove the excess wood with a 3\/8″ (10mm) #6 gouge. Trace the side-view pattern onto the blank and use the same gouge to remove the excess.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Carving and Finishing\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Refer to the patterns often as you carve the piece. Be careful not to cut off the top spool for the carving blank; you\u2019ll need this for the ears. I use a detail knife and a small V-tool to define the eye and mouth areas and a 1\/8″ (3mm) #11 veiner to create texture inside the ears and on the tail, cheeks, and ruff. Mark the whisker dots in using a woodburner with a writing nib. If you plan to use the writing and skew nibs to burn the fur texture in just a few places rather than all over the body, brush on a pre-stain conditioner, such as Minwax, before you paint to prevent blotchiness. Add a clear gloss acrylic finish to the eyes to make them shine.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
