    yeah, i know kind of goofy but i found a book at a yard sale with the pattern so i made a sample i kind of like it and think i will make a few for christmas gifts i think by changing the arms a bit i could put a saw on the ,stump and have the guy pulling the cord, well its something different all my friends and family are likely sick of the shaker boxes and baskets i make and give as gifts so this could be a nice change.
