In addition, Ormalll shared a few pictures detailing how they made the figurine. Based on the images, the Reddit user started with a block of wood and then sketched a rough outline of where they should carve based on references. Once they created the desired shape, the wood figure was then painted to match the version of Shuckle in the franchise. While not seen in the images, Ormalll likely carved the limbs and head for the Pokemon out of separate pieces of wood, which were then attached to the main block.
This impressive wood carving follows other works shared on Reddit by Ormalll. For example, they previously completed a project that involved crafting awooden version of Pikachu. Like with Shuckle, the creator provided pictures showing the process of making the figure, including outlining, carving, and painting.
