Giraffe-Laminated chainsaw work

I began this Giraffe in the lockdown of 2020. I wanted to see if gluing construction timber together into a rough shape, then carving it to the finished version was possible. I wanted to know if the glue would hold though time and weather. I kind of rushed it because I wanted to see it finished. I wanted the Giraffe to be sat on by small children and to look as if the giraffe was looking over his shoulder to look at his rider. Unfortunately health and safety soon discovered my heinous plan and banned him from being sat on.
