G'day all,
Just thought I'd show my latest project.

I made this with Sandalwood for the blade and Jarrah for the handle.

It was a gift for the Carpenter mate of mine who gave me the Sandalwood stumps. It was his 50th Birthday last night. He loved it.
Had a good night and ate two much

I got the pattern from either Wooden Teddy Bear or Wildwood, can't remember exactly.

It was a bugger of a pattern to cut, not the complexity, but the actual design.
I had to go over it before cutting and add some bridges, and stop some cuts short as there was very little holding things together. I added the hill under the horses front hoof to give it more support.

Anyhow, as all ways, comments, both good and bad welcome

Looks sharp!

Birthdays are a good excuse for eating too much. I just need an excuse for the other 364....

It's a bummer that you had to modify the pattern, but the results turned out great.

Very nice work. The wood grains and colors are really cool. Having to modify the pattern just gives it your flair and personality. Keep up the good work.

Very nice cutting John. Mine always break at the ears, never had any problem at the feet.

Only one thing wrong with it I can see, John. You didn't give it to me! LOL

Great work. I have had to do some of the things you describe on other projects from there. I love to work sandalwood, it makes the whole shop smell nice when working it.

That is really nice John. Great job on the cut and the finish.
