I just want to cut this into a piece of wood. The error is that it contains open contours and that I must first join contours.
What is the correct way to carve this?

Re: What is the correct way to cut this shape?
If you are looking for a result such as the deer in this post: viewtopic.php?p=276493#p276493 then you have some work to do making the vectors acceptable for such a cut.
If you are happy with something like martindg’s example then you have everything you need.
I’d suggest different depths of cuts for each area of the beast. Maybe the eyes as they are. The head, nose, and feet shallower and more drawing line-like. The spine mass somewhere in between. The arcs for the simplified spines adjusted so that they don’t make the hedgehog look like an ankylosaurus.
