Poke Chop

This is PokeChop, the rocking porker I've been posting progress on over in the tutorial section. I finished him this morning. He is made of solid cottonwood. The rocker assembly and bow is pine. I stained the rockers and bow dark walnut and the pig pecan.

That turned out really cute. Does it have an owner in mind already? You really have a knack for those rockers. It won't be long before you have a full-fledged rocker business on your hands without even knowing it! Good job.

No, it doesn't have an owner yet. It's for sale. I now make two different motorcycle rockers, a pig rocker, a rocking horse, rocking train, and a rocking tractor. I enjoy doing them, but they are hard on my back (some already know about my back issues due to a ten year old injury). I actually had an offer a while back to sale ten bike rockers if I could have them done by a certain date. Unfortunately, I had to turn it down. With my back, I can't commit to stuff like that. I never know if I'm even going to be able to walk from one day to the next, much less build labor intensive stuff like that. I do love doing them though.

That turned out just adorable Greasemonkey! I know just what you mean about your back...........I have the same problems.........sometimes I can't walk either. Really blows when you have stuff you want to do and can't even get out of bed!

Thanks so much for sharing your little Poke Chop with us.....you did a great job on him.

Excellent job on the pig Greasemonkey. He's very cute. I really liked the in progress photos. I always enjoy looking at the progress of a project. Great to see how others work.
