Giraffe Swing

About 35 years ago we took my nephew and niece to the Dallas Zoo. My wife loves Giraffes and the other day she said "Why don’t you make me a copy of that Sculpture. Well that was a challenge but today I finally finish this project.

Was fun since I used scrap wood that was laying around.

Here is the old picture that served me as a model.

It was a challenge by my wife…. she said.. I would like to have a copy of the Giraffe at the Dallas Zoo sculpture. So I searched and did find an old picture where we took my nephew and niece to the Zoo.
