Very good Hobbyhorse!

W e l c o m e . . A b o a r d !!

Making small stuff like that is fun... I recently made a small driver golf club that fit into the top of a trophy... it was about 6" long... quite a challenge... I made the club head out of Walnut (big Bertha style), drilled hole for shaft mounting, etc. Shaft was Maple... glued to head with epoxy... tried acrylic finish... NO GOOD! Had to scrape it off... ended up using a black permanent marker... good color (like stain) and dried instantly... then waxed it... looked like a Pro made it! No Power equipment used!

It would be nice to see some of your little furniture sometime when you can.
