Christmas Raffle Prizes for the local community club - a big Reindeer plus little Reindeer & Sleigh
Christmas Raffle Prizes for the local community club - a big Reindeer plus little Reindeer & Sleigh...
The big Reindeer is 26" [680mm] high at the antlers made from select pine, stained and finished with homemade wipe-on-poly..
The small Reindeer is 11" [280mm] high at the antlers made from Camphor Laurel, finished with homemade wipe-on-poly..
The sleigh is 11" [280mm] long, 8.5" [215mm] high by 6.5" [165mm] wide; made from recycled Merbau boards and Douglas Fir [Oregon ] and finished with homemade wipe-on-poly..
The big Reindeer [a decoration for around the Christmas Tree] will be pulling a hamper of groceries and Christmas goodies..
The small Reindeer & Sleigh will have lollies [candy] for a table decoration..
The community club turns 69 in January with the current building nearly 30yrs old and in need to maintenance.
Also a lot of the gymnastic equipment needs updating.
Both are very expensive for a "volunteer based - not for profit" community club with about 500 in classes every week.
Every dollar counts and a hand made wooden toys/decorations will last, so it's my way of helping.....

Cute, these should go well. Great job making them and I really like the grain on them.
Cute decorations and should bring in a beneficial amount. Like mel52 said, the grain color and patterns are beautiful. Nice work.
You mention your homemade wipe-on poly, I'm curious as to your recipe. Finishing is my least enjoyed part of woodworking and if you get such a pristine appearance by wiping, I'll give it a try.

These are so cute! I hope they raise a lot of $$ for the community club.
Like these, very nicely done. Always like to see us woodworkers use some of our talent to help others. Excellent.
