rjR Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Just been too busy on a million little things to get much cutting done. This was developed accidentally; random cut that ended up looking like a hippo --just making an opener for stock. Noticed what it did look like. I then got a few other opinions and they agreed with no prompting that it did look like a hippo; so then I actually tweaked it with tail and feet. About 1/2 inch wide and 5 inches long and about 1-1/2 inches tall. Made from an unknown hard wood. Kind of fun and the testing is also fun. I add a leather loop for convenience of storage/handling.

Dan Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Neat idea! If you need a product tester please send my way, with a few bottles to test it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrolling Steve Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Looks good, but like Dan, I would have to test it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewolf Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Just thinking, attach a piece of metal in the mouth so that you'd have less chance of breaking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Isn't it great when something like that just falls into your lap. Looks great - paint them purple and you've got those "purple hippos" just like the song. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
