Thats hilarious! Great Idea.

I see that I forgot to put a scarf on him… I’ll have to fix that.

Great idea! Well done! Frosty is really getting into the holiday cheer!

There aren’t many posts I’ll keep reading past the “painting walnut.” However, it turned out to be a good story. Nice!

I stop by to relax a bit and look at some terrific woodworking and find Deb painting walnut. Sigh.
No rest for the weary.

I want to say this is a great idea and a terrific job Deb, I really do… but, but… ;-)

Oh hell, I like it! Them other guys are just yanking your chain. What say we just take that there bottle of wine and forget these guys?

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

I know, Chip.. I know…. I actually thought about this all night long .. but in the end, the snowman just wasn’t a snowman in its “au naturel” state.

Was it just the snowman who was a little tipsy? Fun project MsDebbie

-- Forget the health food, I need all the preservatives I can get !

oh yah.. that’s why I painted the walnut—not my fault at all :)

Ok, ok… The bottle didn’t look like it had been opened yet… now I understand Deb. ;-)

Nahhhhh…If Debbie had opened the wine the hole woulda been “lower”. Heehee
Too cute!

Great job Debbie. Even if it was painted walnut.

I noticed you didn’t paint your willow though.

I did look at making it out of willow but didn’t think it would be strong enough … that and I wouldn’t want to paint my willow ;)

Would that be a looped snowman? Looks great

Too funny.

Debbie, Is this the prototype for Christmas gifts? Walnut?, made to make an impression? Very nice, very funny and very functional. Can’t be letting our cork get dry! Now can We?
God bless

Blasphemy! How dare thee paint walnut! Just kidding Debbie you have been ribbed enough about that.

I like your project. I still have not figured out how these things stand and doesn’t the wine flow out kind of fast when you open the lid or pull the cork? Gotta be quick to avoid alcohol abuse with that contraption.

frosty gonna end up toasted !

I’m eating dinner and the thought occurs to me “I wonder why she didn’t just use willow?” So I log in and come here and see Deb has said “I wouldn’t want to paint my willow.” (sadly shakes head and contemplates taking Debs name off of the official “Walnut Lovers of America Club” list)

lol but Chip—I did have walnut in the stack of wood… doesn’t that count?

I did set the walnut down about 3 times…. do I or don’t I…. and since it was the only piece of wood that was close to the right thickness it “had” to be sacrificed for the greater good. AND… I didn’t paint his hat—I could have painted it black but chose to leave it the natural colour of walnut and let the wood shine through.. Does that count??

(And, just FYI, the bottle is “mona vie”, a health food drink.)

I can’tunderstand. Painting walnut? I can see painting walnuts, but walnut? Oh my. That’s almost as bad as me throwing away the cut offs.

Just ain’t right.

I know, Lee… I know…

I feel like putting up a cross or something: “Here lies Mr. Walnut, respected until his last days when he was sacrificed for a stupid little snowman and gave up his beauty in the name of “art” ...and was painted white.”

Debbie I’ve printed the plan but the bottom part does not print. Would you please tell me how long you snowman is?

-- Only the Shadow knows....................

when I cut out my snowman I didn’t realize that there was 2 sections to the pattern so he is just the length of the 1 piece. I played with the angle of the cut to get it to balance.

this is “part 2” of the pattern
Hope that helps.

Poor snowman Debbie, he looks a bit tipsy. what’s he been drinking?. Great gift idea.
