Just been too busy on a million little things to get much cutting done.
This was developed accidentally; random cut that ended up looking like a hippo --just making an opener for stock. Noticed what it did look like. I then got a few other opinions and they agreed with no prompting that it did look like a hippo; so then I actually tweaked it with tail and feet.
About 1/2 inch wide and 5 inches long and about 1-1/2 inches tall. Made from an unknown hard wood.
Kind of fun and the testing is also fun.
I add a leather loop for convenience of storage/handling.
Hey; woodworkers!
Figure a collapsible design and make some different types.
Dick is going to need that one; when he gets corralled into another craft show or a dozen more.
As according to my wife; I have no taste, I still like the squared one better. So if you take her opinion the first is probably nicer.
Both are a fantastic job on cutting though!
