When I was a kid I loved to play with lego. I saw a wood lego version on the internet so, I decided to create a lego man for myself.
I didn't record all the steps, but, there are the main ideas.

I don't have any machine that would help me cutting the most of figure parts so, there are a lot of hand work

Another think to have in mind, the wood boards were not so thick as I needed, so I had to glue 3 of them to have the figure thickness.

Supplies

Pine wood
Wood pegs (for joins)
Japanese saw
Drill machine
Clamps
A lot of sand paper
Wood glue

Step 1: Design and Measures

First of all, I like to write on a paper, do some drafts and get some numbers.

So I picked a small lego figure, get the measures and transported to a bigger version.

Then cut the bigger parts, all squared.

Step 2: Round It

After having all the pieces in squares, I rounded them up, using sand paper.

I rounded the head, hands, arms, legs

The arms was the most difficult part because it's angles, to cut it by hand I realized there were a lot of wood going to the flush.

The head have a circle on top and another below, witch were cut using the vertical drill machine

The hands, after round them up, I opened a hole in the middle with vertical drill machine and with the japanese saw I open the space and cut the bottom corners.

The legs had a challenge because the round top and leg, so I used a chisel so I can reach the shape I was looking for. Them round it on top with more sand paper.

Step 3: Joins

Between the body and legs there's a join, witch was grey zone until I stopped and spend some time looking to it.

So, once again, I got the circle from vertical drill machine and the join piece, with some time spending work and a saw I got there, to have it rounded so the circle fits there.

I fixed the circle with two wood pegs, so I get sure it will be well fixed.

From there I started the joins:

Legs-to-body
Leg-to-leg
Body-to-head
Arms-to-body
Hands-to-arm

All this joins were made with wood pegs and glue

Step 4: Finished

I did not applied any finisher, at least, not yet.

I'm not sure about leaving as it is, or paint it, so for now it is on raw wood.

Step 5: Add Some Finish

After some time thinking on how to paint it, or leave it on wood appearance, the last one won!
So I applied some beewax (so the kids can play with it with no problems, no toxic stuff)

This is just an update on finish result.
