    Toys for a Great nephew

    A niece recently had a baby boy and we all know that kids like toys. I broke out some of my thick maple and made two toy helicopters using a pattern I was given many years ago. I made two since I had the material and it isn't any harder making tow than it is making the first one.

    I don't apply any finish as the wood is non-toxic.

    I haven't come up with a design for the CH53 D or E model mine sweeping Helos that I worked with on active duty.
