Recently, my son has been obsessed with the Disney movie Moana. One of the primary characters is the demigod Maui who wields a magical hook. The hook has a very distinct look and is adorned with special carvings.

Using a single 2x4, I made a kid-sized version of the hook. I started by making a template by free-handing the shape and cutting it out at the bandsaw. You can simply download my template if you like the shape I came up with. Print the template with no scaling and then cut and tape the pages together. Use some spray adhesive to attach the paper to some 1/4" plywood or MDF and then proceed with the cutting.

Keep in mind that you don't need to use everything I used in the video. A jigsaw can be used instead of the bandsaw. All of the sculpting can be done using nothing more than a rasp and hand planes. And if you're intimidated by the sculpting, you can always cut the shape out of 3/4" plywood, round over all of the edges and give that to the kid and let them use their imagination. Here are some helpful links to the specific tools I used for the build:
