EASTER EGGS

EASTER EGGS

Description: Eggs are actual egg size. (buff orpington egg) Top of stand is also half a hollow egg.Both eggs have removable top and are filled with bunnies. ?You sure didn't expect to find chicks in an Easter egg??? The small bunnies are missfits and scraps from inlaying the bunnies in the eggs.
I didn't post earlier as our club, MWTA, had an egg turning challenge last Sat. and I didn't want to tip my hand. Woods are buckthorne, redwood, lilac, maple, wallnut, quackie, mahogany, holly and mesquite stands.
Comments always welcome to my posts.
I will try to explain briefly. Would take a couple pages with pictures to fully explain. I am not sure I remember exactly-exactily. One egg has 3 rabbit segments the other 4. I cut the segments to fit. Stuck a piece of holly onto the segmet. Drew a rabbit on it. Cut rabbit out to fit. Glued him into the main segment. glued the segments together. Glued this to the larger end of the eg base. Tuned the outside close to size. Hollowed this part of the egg. Made the top of egg and hollowed it Made a maple "bushing" that fit into the top and bottom. Glued it to the top. Pushed the top and bottom together and turned all to final size except for very bottom which was in the chuck. Reverse mounted into special made chuck and turned bottom. I make pages of sketches as I procede but don't keep them, but this is about the way it went. Sounds complicated. Well it is.
The first 2 I trashed and the same goes for the first stand. Sometimes parts just don't fit.
