Japanese Kokechi (Traditional doll)

Very nice Mads. Without wishing to offend any Japanese dolls out there, if you drilled a hole through it, it would also make a nice light pull too.

Congrats again on your relationship and I hope you find a suitable workshop space nearby. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to watch you turning Japanese. You know we will accept nothing less than the full costume (silk pyjamas etc.) :-)

Good job, Mads. I bet that was fun.

I second the congrats on the wonderful woman and look forward to your future projects whenever you return. Take care.

Congratulations Mads! I am very happy for you, and a bit unhappy for us, at least until you get a new shop. I remember some FWW mag. articles by a guy who did his Japanese woodworking on his small porch. He is quite a craftsman and makes some beautiful things. I am sure you will too. It will be fun to follow you in your Japanese reincarnation. I have missed your full participation on LJ lately, but love trumps all, so it’s good to hear that life is treating you well now. Best wishes. Love the doll!

Hi Mads, that is a neat project that can be whipped out pretty quickly. They would make nice gifts for kids, too.
