Made for the LOML from Oak, Maple & Blackwood, her Grandad used to turned little animals like this so had asked me to make these after seeing something similar on the interweb.

Thanks for the comments :thumbs:


Are you saving for a special occasion Doug or is the deed done.

The good lady loved them, no special occasion Peter in fact I'd been meaning to try making these for a while, ever since she showed me some of her Granddads turnings.
True to form ten minutes after receiving them SWMBO decided a baby bird was needed to complete the set :rolling: so my to do list still hasn't got any shorter :nooidea:

Beware the next possible is a nesting set along Russian lines then one each for the family, caution keep this to yourself mate.
