Carving a Breaching Dolphin

There have been numerous requests for a new carving from those that have finished the other carvings.
I have promised several people to put up instructions on carving a breaching dolphin.

 

 
    Here is the pattern for carving a small breaching dolphin originally designed for a piece of stone 7 1/2 inches by 3.5 inches by 2 inches. For a smaller or larger piece of stone change the pattern proportionally.

 

 

The basic tools that you will need to complete this carving are;
Mini hack Hacksaw or Hacksaw blade
  Half round Rasp
  Round file or Rasp
  Silicon Carbide Waterproof Paper
