This is a gift to my brother-in-law who has a collection of Dodgers bobblehead figures given out at games he’s gone to over the past couple years. The Dodgers logos are inlaid with epoxy colored with metallic acrylic blue paint and blue glitter. Woods are cherry and curly maple. Finish is a bunch of coats of shellac (super blond for maple and garnet for the cherry), sanded to high grit, then a couple coats of gloss Arm-R-Seal, then Renaissance wax. I ended up with a very nice, smooth high-gloss finish.

My only regret is that the shelf is already full, and Brett’s already got his tickets for next seasons bobblehead games! To address this concern, he may institute a rotation where players who don’t perform or for other reasons are “in the dog house” don’t get a spot on the shelf. They’ll have to earn it!!

Clearly, it would be better if it was covered with yankees stuff!!

Looks nice.
