Grandad Can you
Most of you have heard those words "granddad can you just make me". Well that is what one of mine said when she wanted a bed for her Barbie doll so off to the shed i goes. With some bits of pine from a headboard of which I had about 8 of from a company that went out of business. I like free wood.
Anyway back to the toy bed the good lady went up to her sowing room and a bed was born. The letter "B" is cut from modelling ply and stained blue with spirit dye and finally 3 coats of Acrylic varnish.
Makes a change to make something for a girl.

Latest request from 11 year old grand-daughter is for a bookcase. It will be from Tassie Oak that I was given a couple of years ago so the only cost will be the finish and it moves some more timber from my garage.
