This craftsman has created an entire herd by turning a piece of wood and then slicing it. The object comes from the collections of the Hornihan Museum; it is described as "German," but they offer no data re its age.
Via A London Salmagundi.
Addendum: Reader mim found a video of how these are made in a modern family craft shop.
That's absolutely bloody brilliant! You could also make sheep this way by adding a tail and horns.

Thank you mim. I added the link as a nice logical addition to the post. And it brought back pleasant memories; when I was young, my favorite tool in "shop" class was the lathe.
