Toy or Turning
Ok not a toy as much but still something for the children. was not sure whether to post here or in the turning section or even the box section as it is a money box.
Well I have managed to get the first item out of my shed for 2015. OK not a fantastic artistic piece but for fun after the Christmas holiday just to get back into the swing of things.
I confess in as much that it was started some time ago and put on hold while I made Christmas presents and the like.
Turned from tulip wood and glued to give me the thickness of material needed. It has 4 separate pieces for the main part. I painted it with artist acrylic paints. The letters on the front are cut from 1/16" ply and when stuck on sanded to make them even thinner they stand 1/2" tall and a little fiddly to make.
It stand 8" tall and 3 1/2" at the widest point

That's fantastic mate.
A great little piece, I'm not to sure what you mean about not a toy.
All it's missing is it's Postman's Pat van!.
Nice stuff.
Cheers

G'Day Derek,
It's a toy with a purpose made by a top turner trying to encourage a child to turn there pennies into pounds....
Cheers, Peter
