Many years ago my Dad and I built several rocking animals that we used to take pictures of children at local events for their parents. This little burro, named Pepe, has been in my shop office for a long time and it was finally time to place him on a rocker for my grand daughters third birthday Sunday July 26th.
When we built the rocking animals we didn't build the rockers because the children would not sit still for the pictures. My task last week was to build a rocker and the collar for Pepe in time for my grand daughters birthday. Since my Dad passed away several years ago this will always be a special gift from both her grandfather and her great grandfather, i hope this one will host a lot of children in our family for many generations to come.
