Make these for a couple of local Craft Shops to sell on my behalf,- as the Yorke Peninsula here in South Australia is, ” Leg-Shaped, ” with water on three sides,- and Dolphins here are popular whether they are the real ones in the sea, or decorative ones to hang on one's house wall, etc.
Mine are cut & shaped from 19mm, ( 3/4” ) pine, – the upper section is stained in a dark woodstain & the lower section left natural, & finished with up to Five Brush-coats of good quality Polyurathane.
I make these three sizes,- the smallest is 350mm, ( 14 inches ), then, 580mm, ( 23 inches ) long, & the biggest one in almost 900mm, ( about 36 inches ) in length.
Also make the occasional two-dimensional Shark as well, & have just been asked to design & make a two-dimensional Pelican !

Gold Fish on the scroll saw

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


After the Morgan I was looking for a simple project to play with something my wife might like.
Found this Gold Fish pattern over at Steve's scroll saw site.
It looks like a simple project but I miss counted how many holes I would need to cut. LOL
It was a great skill builder as I really got my speed up having to change the blade so much.Thanks Steve for another great pattern to play with, and also all the info I needed to get up to speed in my new scroll saw adventure.It's made with poplar and Danish oil as a finish.
The poplar has a little green tint to it as a lot of poplar does but this will turn a golden brown in a year or two.
