Built this for another friend who's son had their first baby.Since I'm alittle slow baby is now walking.The chair will fold over into a play table and will roll around.Hard to see the red wheels,two on front and two on back.I made three clown faces before settling on the last one.Try the scroll saw first,but the exacto knife done alittle better job,since I use washers for the circles.I copy a chair that his wife had from when she was a baby.Made by Sears maybe late 40's.This chair made of soft maple and mahogany and the clown made of dyed veneer and the bear is walnut burl,holley,mah,alittle cherry.I did not know how to make the parts of bear look alittle more different from other parts so I just rotate the parts.wish I could have done better on the finish,but that's another of my weak points.Thanks for looking

Nice work Carroll, I bet they love it! BTW, that's my Dad's name as well, not one you see everyday.
