Practicing my unsteady hands

used a 2/0 fd blade for 1/4 inch and broke or bent 3 blades

i used a 9 blade for 1/2 inch pieces base and stem

all pieces again  came out of bins

i know the pattern uses the same species for stem since it's part of tail but I used what looks like white oak or ash and sapele scraps for fish

inhave a boatload of poplar from all the other projects so made the grass with that

took me approx 3 hours to cut and sand

Used some old stain and I routed a small curve around base

im still struggling with tight turns even with 2/0 blade

i ended up using a 3 blade to finish the 1/4 inch pieces much easier for me
