Cow Phone holder

[rjR]

Made from scrap-maple (I think) and walnut.  Identifying wood species is not my strong suit, sorry. 

One of my granddaughters likes cows. When I found out, I decided to make a cow phone holder as the modern young adults seem permanently attached to their phones. 

The design is by T & E designs after some internet image research. 

Cut on the King 21" --sorry, I do not know the blade #. I do know it is an Olsen blade though.  The walnut base is from some tree parts I had bought and then slabbed out on a bandsaw.  The face was freehand burned in with a pen type wood burner.  

Then finished with about 4 coats of marine varnish, because I had it open. 

I actually I only drew 1/2 of the pattern as I had folded it over to the middle. I then cut it out with a scissor and used a red pen to mark it on my wood. 
I use red pen all the time as it makes it much easier to see the blade as I cut. 

It is 6-1/2 inches tall 4-1/2 wide and 4 deep.  I also put felt feet on the bottom so it will not scratch. 

I am anxious to see how she likes it.

I'll bet she's bullish on the gift.

I wouldn’t show it to my cow either, she would probably stop milking … Lol. First cow phone I’ve seen RJ. Very well done. I’m sure your granddaughter will be thrilled. Merry Christmas.
