Rocking Elephant

That’s just awesome! Self deprecating comments about your talents are unfounded. I think it’s a fantastic piece!

Great gift. I’ll have to find the elephant I made 35 years ago. It has come back home after being stored outside for a long time. I want to refinish it.

The plans I had when i made mine had the seat opened so you could have a toy storage inside. I didn’t do that though. Mine was used as a saddle storage for a while by my youngest daughter, who is now 32. A lot of rocking going on.

I wish I would have seen this a couple years ago. I have a nephew that loves elephants (much to his democrat mother’s chagrin), but he’s probably too old for a rocking elephant now.

Great project!

Looks like a great ride to me. I bet you grandson will be very happy with it.

Gee Lyle, that sure looks like a great looking rockin’ elephant to me ! I bet your grandson will have a lot of fun with it, maybe as much fun as I bet you had making it :)
