This is one of my original designs, I've made and sold quite a few of these. They're not as hard to make as you'd think, and you don't 'carve' them, just round them off with the sander. They take about 2 hours each. I use a bandsaw with a 1/8" blade and a 4X36 stationary belt sander, and yes, a drill press too.

Here he is ready for the puzzle cuts No carving, just sanding.
