New Year Gift

A Grey and White 'Manchester Bee' requested by my daughter. The white bits are done with a router and then it was cut out with my Scrollsaw, so I suppose it can be called a 'Scrouter' piece. 

It's 6" tall x 8" wide, done with ½" mdf.   This Bee is generally done Yellow and Black but the decor in her house is Grey/White/Pink  and wanted one to match.

It will blend in nicely with the decor.

Sorry, I must admit to not thinking about the fact that people may not have heard about our Bee.

Manchester’s main symbol, was adopted in 1842 by the newly-created council. The Manchester bee is the worker bee, for this is a city that grew on the notion of hard work. An often-repeated phrase is that “everyone in Manchester is as busy as bees.”

Here's a piece about it.
