Teddy box is sapele and maple

Used plastic eyes and nose instead of inlaying
Used upholstery nails for the buttons
Used 2/0 blade to cut all 1/4 inch parts and 5 blade for the base and cover wall

Valentine bear is for my grandson to give his mommy
It took me one hour to cut and glue

I'm going to avoid these small items as it's difficult for my cruddy hands to work with 1/4 inch pieces the size of a dime

Box base is not lacquered yet as I wanted to glue it up first and sand a bit first

Valentine's Day bear is maple

I paint penned the tie because I didn't have any red stain left

I'm still experimenting with pegas and Flying Dutchman blades but I'm better at selecting which number cuts best for each project

I snapped 2 2 blades probably due to over tensioned
 
Very cute, for sure. Maybe my little 3-year-old friend would like something like that. Not sure what he would put in it. I would want it to represent Winnie the Pooh. He is a huge fan. Is that a Steve Good pattern.\?
 
Yes gooods pattern
I think it would be easy enough to make it Winnie
When I make layered characters I just search the internet for a cartoon type picture print it and trace it
Easy enough to segment it if wanted

I think Winnie would all be poplar and painted correct colors
