Two words Charles.....Beautifull and heirloom. I would think that will be around for ever. Such a well thought out and executed project. Did you make the bear from plans or out of your own design? I think my mom would love one of those she loves bears.
Well done Charles.

This side of awesome. She will definitely keep that forever. Did you have plans! Would a little boy like that? I have a new grandson. May be if I could make one with Winnie the Poo bear on it... I'd need plans.
 
Ya, know, the more I look at what Charles did the more impressed I am. Charles was kind enough to send me a copy of the plans. I looked at them and saw little things I would change, like I said I want it to look somewhat more like Pooh bear, but it calls for buying small wood balls for balloons. I didn't like that because blown up balloons are not shaped like round balls. I see Charles did it correctly and must has turned them to the real shape of a balloon. Also the rug Charles' bear is sitting on is much much better than the plans. You simply did a fantastic job Charles.

Charles, did you turn the base parts on the lathe? I want to turn all I can on the lathe.

Thanks for the compliment Paul, yes I did turn the balloons, and the base parts on the lathe. I didn't like the round ball idea on the plan, I would have liked smaller dowels to use for the strings, but I thought that they wouldn't hold up for a three year old.
