A couple of weeks ago at the Farmers Market a family came up on their bikes. One girl, about 10, had a recently broken arm and was "in a mood", just was not having a good day. I was the second booth in from the edge of the market, so I asked if she wanted to see some "woodworking magic". I had one of the reindeer cut out but still in the block, so I showed them the block, pointed out where I had cut both side and then took the 3D reindeer out of the center of the block. I didn't make a sale but it broke the girls bad mood and she (and her family) were able to enjoy the day at the market. That got me thinking. Now when I prep the deer for cutting I drill a pilot hole in both sides pf the block and then cut out the reindeer. I remove the deer from the block and brush off as much sawdust as I can and remove the small waste pieces from the legs and antlers. put it back together and sell the item block and all. And they are selling better than the deer by itself.
