Finished Frogs . . . 

I was back in the workshop today and turned the eyes for the frogs. Trying to get them all the same size was a bit of a challenge, but I got there in the end. I used a black felt pen to colour the eyes while the wood turned on the lathe. I glued the eyes onto the frog heads after holes had been drilled to accommodate them. Then with holes drilled in the bottom of the frogs and dowel inserted into the log, the frogs were finally able to sit on the log. Then they were ready to take to tonight's club meeting. I have challenged myself to making something for each month's meeting. 

On our club meeting show table were these amazing pieces from some of the members. The fire engine was made by a man who has been turning for over 40 years. I have a very long way to go to get to that standard.
