measure 2 " and cut a strip from the bottom edge of wood

next divide and cut that piece into 4 equal blocks (these are the owl's feet)

Draw and cut corners off the top edge of the board. These will be used for the owl's horns.

I also cut the bottom edges slightly to create a curved bottom of the owl's body

SAND all edges of wood pieces.
