2x4 wood fish puzzle toy

This is a fish (or whale) depending on the cut profile you chose. All you really need is some scraps of wood and a bandsaw! 

Step 1 Get some scraps of wood

The big one is a scrap of 2x4 , approx. 8" L x 3" W  x 1.5 " H. All that matters with size is that you can cut it out on your band saw. Now draw out the pattern lines on top and on the side.

I saw some of these when I visited Washington, Seattle at pikes place market. They were asking $80 for fish made out of walnut and other hard woods. I really wanted one but passed on it due to the large price tag, really glad I found this instructable! Here is the one I made!!

Still looking for that perfect piece of wood that I can try to make this with my chain saw! It will be about 6 feet long, 3 feet wide & 2 feet thick ! Ian only guessing at this point. I can always get a piece cut at a mill nearby. They always have spruce, pine & hemlock in the yard. It will be a challenge to cut out, but the end result will be one of a kind!
