Hello My Friends
Thank you for the compliments. Not really planning on taking orders for these little guys, but then everything is negotiable :D . Here are a few snappies of the finished scoop. This little exercise in wood and metal was purely for fun. It didn't have to be made to any particular dimensions or size or shape. Although proportion is important. It is a 3-D cartoon of a picture in my head. Pure creativity...not at all like a scale model, where you are very constrained as to what you can do. It is very cartoony, the oak handle is perhaps a bit fatter than it should be, also the wood D handle. But it's cute, and it shovels the ashes out of the wood stove pretty good. Like I said, just for fun. Sometimes building scale models makes my hair hurt, and I need an exercise in silly. That's what this is. Too much fun.
