Cut from 5  - 3/4 inch pine panels. The bank is 3 3/4" thick x 7" wide x 10" tall.  The paints used are all water based acrylic.  The bank was top coated with shellac.

Is that a new design DW?  I don't remember seeing this one before.  Looks as good as the others though, I am sure the recipient will love it.

Marg yes this is a new design.  It was based on a bunch of tribute banks I was commissioned to do earlier in the year.  This particular shape can be a brown bear cub, black bear cub, polar bear cub or a panda depending upon the color scheme.

looking at a candy store.Like the way you signed it also.

What do you use for the coin slot? The two banks

that I have done have a wide coin slot.

Gordie I take and drill two 2mm holes about 1 1/2 inches apart and then remove the wood between either with a spiral blade, knife , exacto saw or dremel.  To ensure that the customer always gets a clean looking coin slot I will sometimes take a 2 1/4 inch long .025" thin 1 inch wide brass plate and with a jeweler's blade cut a coin slot in the brass plate then fasten that down with the same screws I use on the windows.  That brass plate can cover a multitude of bad cuts :)
