It's supposed to be the easiest wood to carve for beginners, and it does carve quite nicely if you get the right variety. I bought some poor quality basswood off a no-name Amazon brand and it was quite tough.

Basswood. Got it off a guy on eBay.

I think it will more convincingly look like Tux once he's painted. (Hopefully)

Just the one knife - a flexcut roughing knife (KN14). I followed dywoodcarving on YouTube for the chick, and made the Tux by myself.

It's actually supposed to be Tux, but I'll take that :)

There's these large bodies of water called oceans. I believe it goes there (what with always going downhill and stuff).

More and more rain water runs off into streams, rivers and eventually the ocean because there isn't enough foliage to slow the water till it is absorbed by the soil. The foliage is typically replaced by concrete and asphalt (urban) or fields (rural).

Also the increased average temperature of the planet is causing changes in weather patterns and reducing rainfall (in many areas) and increasing the variance of rainfall causing cycles of drought and flood.

Hang on to your hats folks, it's gonna get worse before it gets better (if it will get better at all).

 

It's a low bar to make the California flag better, but I woke up and decided to give it a go. It's my first attempt. Let me know what you think

 

Most of the others do, so it must be something small.

I posted this to Reddit a few years ago.

I followed Paul Sellers' method, but used a 2x3 Douglas fir for the material. It turned out quite heavy and durable.
