A fine job and don’t fuss too much after all it’s for the birds . LOL
I would do the same using used material and make a plan as I go, in the end it will work out just fine and everyone will love it .

Looking forward to seeing the finished project. Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys, now that I’ve got my head round it it’s not so bad. It’s all coming together now

looks like afun project.

Thanks. I wasn’t originally working with the plywood, that became plan B and I think it would’ve been a lot easier if it had been planning A. By the time I’d got to plan B the sketches had gone out the window and it was a discussion with my nan using a my notebook and some table mats to explain what she thought I should do. I thenjoy went and watche’d a videos on YouTube repeatedly until I got it into my head.

I agree that it was good to stick with it and complete the project, and I have learnt a lot from it, but I shall be going back to the carving and pyrography as I feel that is something I can make with a good finish. Woodwork in general is not my fortè and I won’t take on any jobs like this again until I feel confident enough to do a good job. I do plan to spend a little time each week improving my skills and practicing so that I can learn the basics and make gifts for my family
