Bobcat from Alex Fox, highly modified.

What do you do with a Firewood slice from the neighbor?  It is oak.  Max thickness 2.25". Barely fits in a hawk.

This was quick experiment.

Take @alexfox 's bobcat pattern, resize and put it on the slice with spray glue 77.

scroll saw the outline of the face out.  Make a tiny drawer.  I used 9 deg angle cut so i can remove the inside core piece. get 2 Slices off bottom of core.  use 2nd slice as bottom of drawer.  #7 super skip blade.

Carve lots of wood around bobcat as outline. I used rotary tool and kutzall bit.  Make sure the rock the bobcat is standing on is higher than the sky background. 

Carve out face, drill eye holes, not too deep.   Use harbor freight diamond rotary tool set to add hair all over the body, face ears, and claws. 

Black paint for eyes.

Mohaganay stain to hilight bobcat.

I spent 5 hours total on this project.

Gave the slice of wood back to the neighbor.
