    Grand Dad stole Christmas...

    My FIL has finally been getting out to the shop (2 years after retirement). Grand kids are a great motivator. He built one of these for the 2 oldest grand daughters (4 and 3). It's clear pine with danish oil, when I saw how he did it I understood why he used pine. He cut the shapes on a scroll saw THEN laminate the head and hand sanded to final shape.

    Needless we're pretty proud of him, and for Christmas he got a new bandsaw.

                                  Great build.. interesting approach using a scroll saw. I have one and it would have never crossed my mine...

                                      He's one to make good use of what he has, while I'm out shopping for a new tool.
