Nutcrackers

Bodies and pedestals were turned from a tree limb (ash or maple) that I found on the side of the road. Legs and arms were made from oak dowels, and the jaws were made from birch.  My wife, a watercolorist, hand painted these using acrylic paint.

Nice work.

I have Nutcrackers on my to-do list.
I’ve got a ton of pictures for ideas from the past when we visit the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum with our family:

If I'm ever in that neck of the woods, I'd love to stop by that museum!

Nicely done
