Lobster
Did you say you are a beginner ???
That is a top toy for someone just learning the art of wooden toy-making
And the Bee,- same comment applies there too.
On a scale of 10,- Give yourself a 10 mate,- and I mean it !
*** I have seen some real rough stuff over the years at craft fairs, & makets,- toys that have been poorly designed, with little thought, and even more roughly made by people who are more interested in the profit-margin than they are interested in quality,- Noticed a, " Shell,' Service Station once,- mass-produced by someone who obviously didn't care about split timber, or protruding nails,- and that was in a Toyworld store of all places
Hobby Toy-makers who take a bit of pride in their workmanship deserve all the encouragement they can get, for genuine quality hand-crafted is becoming hard-to-find anymore, as more and more imported, ' rubbish,' toys come in from from asian, & other countries,- and to make matters worse, the big name toy brands support this sorta junk,- in my opion they oughta be ashamed of themselves
( I think I got the icons worked out at last !!! )
happy woodworking,
Roger
