I saw this in Wood magazine and wanted to make it for my son’s birthday. I made it out of oak. It was alot of fun to make – just alot of sanding. It really made me want a spindle sander. It would of saved me alot of time. I had a drum sander kit for my drill press but they were too short so it took some extra time to finish. I used a hvlp spray gun to put a coat of sherwood laquer base vinyl sealer and 2 coats of laquer semi gloss sanding with 320 grit between each coat. I hope you like it .

Very cute! I wonder if you made both feet curved he’d sway from the pendulum motion? Hmmm…
