Title: Easter's on its way
Post by: EIEIO on February 23, 2013, 08:14:13 pm

Here's a little pattern for a compound-cut bunny. It fits on a piece of 3/4" lumber about 2"x1.75". Orient so the grain runs parallel to the ears for greater strength. The dashed line is the fold around the edge of the board.

Cut the side profile first then tape it back together. Turn on end to cut the front profile, but watch your fingers - with the block turned on end to cut the front profile, your fingers might get between the wood and the top clamp screw.

You can go back to cut around the cotton tail if you like. I didn't try to cut between the front legs as you can maybe see.

Thanks EIEIO. I've taken a copy & plan to cut a few for my Grandkids to color. They love to do art. And my daughter love it when they are doing something other than running her ragged.  :D

I haven't tried doing this type of project yet.  Your bunnies came out awesome.

I adjusted the bunny pattern to make it fit some scraps I found around the shop. The right bunny is Bloodwood. Hard to cut but looks like its been polished coming off the saw.

The adjusted pattern fits on 1.5" wide x 2.125 high x 0.75" thick and will leave a thin rabbit cutout on either side of the compound cut. The compound bunny will be a little thinner as well. So it can be made from a sliced 2x4 scrap if you run the grain vertical.

Thanks EIEIO, I have been looking for 3D patterns of animals, so I can make some for my Granddaughter.

Thanks, EIEIO.  I think I will try a few of these.  I can think of several kids who would probably like them.
