Piggy Bank

[flarud]

Made this Piggy Bank last month and had to wait to see what color it was to be painted.  Found out last week it is gonna be a boy.  Also got to use my new branding iron.  I bought a branding iron thru Rockler years ago, but I'll use this new iron for projects just for the Grandson.  I should have used an "X" pattern for the screws holding the acrylic on instead of the "cross" pattern.. that left screw head messes with the look of the eye a little. 

Working on a wooden rocking horse now for him.  I have it temporarily clamped together just to see what it is gonna look like.  Everything is cut out and sanded, just need to paint all of the pieces and assemble... then wait about 2 years before he can actually use it!!

Very nice things for a new grandchild! 

You might try painting the screw with the blue paint.

Looks great. I also made a bunch of those. Painted Blue and Pink.
