I uploaded these in reverse..lol oh well.
I recently had major reconstructive surgery that took me out of the shop. After two weeks bedridden I was
GOING NUTS to do something in the shop. Couldn’t stand in front of the lathe and the table saw was just too much to handle. I wanted to do something a little more ambitious but saw this sketch on the web and thought it looked like a fun, fairly easy project to warm up on..
Didn’t have any basswood so it is out of poplar. Not my best work but I was under the influence of some heavy duty narcotics.. Now that I think about it, my family should have known better than give me sharp objects! :)

Thanks everyone, I am back in the shop and at the lathe again. Will be a while before I am back on my motorcycle though :(
Spanky- I am sorry but I do not remember where I found the sketch. I can send you a file of it if you would like.

I think your family did know better about those sharp objects they gave you, and the projects you make
prove it. Know what you mean about the motorcycle, I had to give it up because my reactions are no
longer fast enough to ride it like I want to. Isn’t cruise control when the throttle locks wide open on long
straight roads? Thank you for sharing.

Glad to hear you’re back in your shop. I know exactly how you must have felt as I too had surgery on both knees some years back. It was no fun and they still hurt. I wish you speedy and total recovery soon, Jen.

It’s only when you CAN”T go in the shop that you realize how much you miss it. That’s a pretty good carving, Can I get some of those drugs?
-- Have a great day.
