For this project I took 3 2'' by 4'' boards and glued them together. Once the glue dried I had a solid block of wood that i was then able to carve. I choose to carve a monkey because the shape seemed simpler to do. I first began carving the feet then moved up to the moneys head. I mainly started on the head first so I could see the shape/roundness that I needed to make the animal. Carving wood was a lot harder than I expected .It took many days to carve the monkey. Once carved I had to sand paper the monkey. After sanded I decided to paint the monkey pink. Overall I like my final project.
