SWAT Table Decorations

[Jerry Bridges]

SWAT is asking for toys for table decorations this year. I can't find much on turning toys except tops and baby rattles. Any sources?

 

[Rick Moreton]

There's cup-and-ball (ball in a cup), kendama, dolls, bowling ball/pins.

Some additional grist for your mill.

Alan Stratton has a section on toy projects that he has videoed. Here's a link to the Toys section.

My regional public library system has copies of both Richard Raffan's Turning Toys and Mark Barker's Turned Toys available for inter-library loan. I can recommend both books.

Good luck. I'm confident you will make someone very happy with the toys you turn.

Lots of wooden cars.. here you could do something that could be a keepsake for whoever takes it home.
If some one is good with an airbrush A little flame paint

Thank you very much. I am sure there will be some great ideas in these books.
