There is intêrets two in this video.
The first one it is because it is funny, the second it is that it gives me an idea of the size(cutting) of a beaver.

Tis not bad. Looks more like fur than quills, however.

Overall the porky looks good, though he seems a bit flat on the back compared to the ones I've seen in the wild and in the zoo.

C'est pas pire, ton porc qui pic! On peut même dire chouette, pis la taille semble parfait. Tu as évidement un tour de main pour ce genre de l'art. Félicitations.

I imagine it may be a difference in local species.

This http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Gk29O4VlCGk/SEtmf9Tj17I/AAAAAAAADC8/g1gzUhs4r5c/800px-Porcupine_NPS11952.jpg is a bit more what I'm used to seeing.

I still think it's a great porcupine and immediately recognizable as one.

This is what I'm used to seeing in the wilds of Northern Ontario several hours driving North of Thunder Bay, where I worked. The cute little porcupines hunch-up before shaking vigorously to launch the nasty quills.
We had folks in camp who would look out for porcupines when working in the woods. If they found one they would hold their flannel work shirts in much the same way a Toreador would use his cape, trying to get the porcupines to drive their quills into the shirt in order to collect the them. The bigger quills are hollow and are valued for traditional bead & art work.

Cool. I live in the Pacific Northwest, myself. Washington state to be precise.

I'm just across the border from you Eli, in Vancouver B.C.. Summer work in Ontario was lucrative back in the 1980's. I was a camp cook back then.

Magnifique! Si ce n'était pour la branche pointue qui risque de déchirer le moule, je dirais qu'il faut le faire mouler! (quoique, peut-être si tu en ferais une figurine en deux parties...)

Awesome! If it wasn't for the pointy stick bound to rip up the mould, I'd say you need to get this cast up! (although maybe if you made it multipart...)
