A couple of weeks ago at the Farmers Market a family came up on their bikes. One girl, about 10, had a recently broken arm and was "in a mood", just was not having a good day. I was the second booth in from the edge of the market, so I asked if she wanted to see some "woodworking magic". I had one of the reindeer cut out but still in the block, so I showed them the block, pointed out where I had cut both side and then took the 3D reindeer out of the center of the block. I didn't make a sale but it broke the girls bad mood and she (and her family) were able to enjoy the day at the market. That got me thinking. Now when I prep the deer for cutting I drill a pilot hole in both sides pf the block and then cut out the reindeer. I remove the deer from the block and brush off as much sawdust as I can and remove the small waste pieces from the legs and antlers. put it back together and sell the item block and all. And they are selling better than the deer by itself.

Here is my latest herd of "Fred's". Steve Good pattern that I reduced to 50%. 1/4" BBply. The base is an old cut off from a Christmas tree. Finish is a new product I tried. Not sure I really liked it. Turned out to be a little more "glossy" than I normally would use, but I guess we'll see at my November craft sale. Probably need a bit more practice with it.

I used an ornament pattern to make these toys. I altered them a bit to beef them up and to turn a reindeer into a horse. 4" tall made from a 2x4. Also made some Cross/fish nick-nacks. I have made over 40 of these different items now. Each takes about nine minutes, at the saw.,

Well folks a slight different design to the one on the net real antlers and shaped head and a different leg shape as well. If you want the pattern I have done two jpgs for the legs and antlers to print out correct size and a pdf for the body which can be print in poster style on two pages in PDF software ie Adobe which is free the cut outs are there to show you where they go and not the right size that will depend on what wood thickness you use just offer it up and pencil in the thickness it not an exact science it a proto type you can resize to the bottle you use some have long necks some have thicker and longer bodies so play with the pattern to suit you. Roly PS: I had noticed on the proto that the back legs could come in an inch to make it more stable. deer head.pdf

I can't take the credit for the design work because the deer is from one design I had a picture of and the rockers from another hand carved deer I saw but modified put together and came up with this for the scrollsaw. And if the designers recognise parts of it then I thank you for the seeds of thought. Roly
