From Wood Magazine October 2009-
A couple of Christmas presents for the neighbor kids. One for a little girl the other a little boy. I think if I were doing it over, I would not make the mouth cut out. Looks like this will be a weak point and easily broken. Also, I was afraid the “wobbly eyes” suggested might come off- so I made the eyes from cut round wooden balls which were glued and pin nailed into place.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks for looking.
Lew

Not only is your wood working great, someone is a good paint brush artist too.
A skill I fall short on; sometimes my wife helps me out there.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Jim, unless you have a bed in the shop, I’m not sure I’d do that ;^)

Hey, I was going to ask for a “Big Girl” version too! We’d be a “rockin’ in style!

Very nice work and a super jester on your part making them for the neighbor kids, mine are so damn mean all I want to give them is a swift kick in the britches. I just don’t understand the disrespect and hatefulness some of the youths have for others especially their own parents. I think man if I talked to my Mom or Dad that way I’d of woke up with a crowd standing over me saying MAN WHAT GOT A HOLD OF YOU? L.O.L. In any case great job, we all could use some more neighbors like you.

Very nice work Lew.
I wonder why I didn’t think of using paint on the one I’m making my Great Grandson who will be 1 a week before Christmas.
Wood Mag didn’t explain how to keep the dark stain for the mane from bleeding out of the desired area so, I had problems.
You did a wonderful job on those.
