The Underbelly of a picnic butler

I love that he can change his hat! And having a butler serving me while on a picnic sounds fabuoous. Maybe someone to talk to when my date fails to show up :-) – a bit like a bartender – bend his ear a little.

I will say, however, that he looks like he took a shogun blast to the chest!

That is way cool. I love it.

-- Tim - I usally measure twice after I cut......then I know for sure that I cut it short.....

That is cool. He’ll take orders and never talk back!!

-- Jim Jakosh.....Practical Wood Products...........Learn something new every day!!

This is way kool. Good luck in the contest.

A very stalwart, strong and silent butler. It looks like he will be around for a long time to listen, never comment,
take orders and carefully ignore them. A wonderful piece of whimsy and art. Thank you for sharing.

Ummm…I think it’s cool, I just didn’t understand a word of your description.

Gosh, round about “crystallize” I drifted away
and I think my eyes crystallized over about then,
and then Mrs. WoodrookieII hollers at me
and wants to why I’m babbling about
the belly of a butler that has a flower coming out of it.

It’s just way too much for me.

(just kidding)

woodrookie11 your reaction is normal , scratching the head helps. I was describing internally how my idea’s come to light. We woodworkers know how to make a table saw sing or produce magic from a router that’s the technique part and fun part . For me it is just as important to understand the process of creating from internally formulating from the deepest depth’s of my creativity shapes , texture , color, hue,space and mass thru my reality. In another words all ideas spin in my hopper till I have all the answers then it drops and comes out from within . I don’t even draw anymore. This is inspiration . My problem is I ‘ve honed this process to the point where in one day I can come up with concepts that will keep me busy for over six months. All this and Heaven too.

I thought it was really COOL!

Nice job!

A true Butler! LOL

Thanks Dan. The tongue was firmly in the cheek when I posted my comment.

Your “projects” are not only stunning in concept, but exquisite in detail.

Hence I remain…....

I’ll stick my neck out, be presumptive and say congratulations on the win.
Sometimes it pays to be literal, as you so literally took the project title to heart. Sometimes it pays to be figurative too as I look at the butler that is more alive than many. A real fine build.

That’s a great idea . . . only if I had a big enough tree!
