Bulls!!!

[barry richardson]

I made a couple of these in the past, and was asked to make another one, so I decided to stock up. Got the Idea from a similar piece on Etsy. Used up all the 12/4 Mesquite stock I had to make em. Horns and tail are from 5/16 brass round stock. Sort of a Mid Century Modern take on Picasso. I also wanted to mention the vice I broke down and got for it, it made drilling precise angled holes for dowel assembly a breeze. Am kicking myself for not getting one a long time ago, $45 on amazon and its Chinese but well made, handy for lots of stuff I now realize. The bulls are about 9"tall x 15" long.
