I made a teddy bear rocking chair for my first great niece.  made simple benches for the ones to come and worried they would all want the rocking chair.  lots more work.  Nope the first one wanted a simple bench since everyone got one.  I explained that she got the nice rocker and she agreed, but very sweetly said she would also like a bench.  I got it.  She was not "evil" or selfish.  so I made her one.  better asses how many grandkids ect. may want one int the future.  do not throw away the jigs.  the rocker was made from a spalted dead standing oak cut down from the house that my wife's aunt and grandmother lived in.  so 5 generations.  she got a letter telling the history of the family spanning that time.  she was just walking when she got the chair.

4 days till Christmas and the sled is finally finished.Two coats of spar urethane with a little sanding between coats and hopefully good to go.Burnt my initials and year on the bottom.Got it in the house now to finish drying.Had it in the garage with a small electric heater blowing on it so it doesn't smell to bad.Put two SS eyes on front to hook rope to.Now I can concentrate on getting house cleaned up and some Christmas dinner preparations.

Weatherman says we will probably get a little snow Friday with pretty cold temperatures so if my little buddy makes it up here Christmas and he isn't sick I'll take a few pictures of him on it  :laugh:

Looks like you got 'the money shot' right there!
 Please do take another one when you get him out into the wild. That could make a good wall hanger of a photo.
 It sure does make all that work worthwhile when you see the smile, don't it?

Hopefully before winter is over we will have a good snow and I can get him outside to try it out.My son and daughter in law brought him up yesterday with out a heavy coat and no shoes planning to stay inside and a short distance between car and back door.He's a handful and wore me out yesterday but I love every minute of it.
