Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought, doesn't come from a store.
Dr. Suess
Here he is, Cornelius Borealis, finished at last. I think he came out pretty well. A special gift for a special girl.
One thing that's nice about being a woodworker (and this gets to the Dr. Suess quote) is being able to make things for people that you can't find in a store. I know, and I am sure that all other woodworkers can speak to this, that this is probably the most rewarding aspect of this craft. And as the years go by and I am gone, these gifts will mean all the more. It's memories that make Christmas special, and on that note Happy Holidays to all.
Note: I'll get Connie to take better pics next week some time, and will post those pictures as well so check back. Her pics are magical compared to mine, not even close.
Turned out great buddy! Looks like a very cool gift to give to the Mrs. Wish I'd a thought of that!
