Puppy Coin Bank

[Denny Knappen]

A Puppy Coin Bank finished for a great grandchild. The pattern is by Paul Meisel and found in one of the issues of SWWC. If you want to know which one, message me. The body is 3/4" Pine and the ears are 1/2" Walnut. Finished with one coat spray Shellac and two coats Minmax spray Lacquer Clear satin. Comments welcome.

Nice Denny. Sure to be well loved. After one of the last ones you made and painted I liked him so much I made one too. I gave him to my great niece for her first Christmas.

Excellent.

I really like it Denny. Reminds me of the children's banks I used to make 25 or so years ago. I still have some of those oval lexan side plates I purchased from Meisel Hardware.  I installed a musical bank slot movement in mine. It played a tune every time you dropped a coin in it. Unfortunately, they are no longer available. The kids loved those banks.

Very nice Denny. They are great hits, I made heaps many years ago and they sold well. Haven't done any for quite a while now.
@ben2008 I have about 20 of those musical movements. I thought they would be a great idea, unfortunately they are not large enough to accept our 50c piece. It was great idea while it lasted
