Proto type

[Mrs Woodpecker]

Wanted to try something different and this is it. It very rough, as when I started turning, found cracks, worm holes and all else bad in the timber, ( dead finish, which I love,) but decided to continue on to get an idea of what I wanted. Had no idea of measurements and just made it up as I went. I have since googled all the details I want and will make a good one for one of the Shows. My grandson can have fun with this.

Worm holes and the rest that is beautiful!!!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

There is obviously some great chatoyance in the anvil.

Like you, I am fond of Dead Finish.

You're game :o - I wouldn't let my grandson loose with a weapon like that!!! Nice job Shirley - shame about the grubs :C

Thanks for the comments. Vern, my grandson only got to look at it - my daughter claimed it. It is now on her desk at school, and she said the kids were most impressed when she told them her mother made it. She said they come to attention when she bangs it. Poor kids. :D
Cheers, Shirley
