Just finished for my grandson’s first Christmas. Made of all hardwood: oak, cherry, & walnut, probably heavy enough to withstand a few grandkids. I don’t make a lot of projects & I’m not in the same league with a lot of the woodworkers who post projects, but this is my first since joining the site. Thought I’d throw it out there. thanks, lyle

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.

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 :)
