TOYS BY ROY ...

Last fall Roy made a series of puzzles as Christmas gifts for family and friends. I had to wait until after the holidays in order not to ruin the surprises! They are so beautiful don't you think? He sanded them very smooth and applied several coats of paste wax to protect the wood. Note that what you see as eyes or wing definition is really saw marks, not ink or paint. If it ever warms up here and in his workshop I hope he makes more.

Thanks Kris! I will pass on your comments to Roy. They are thick enough that they stand up on a shelf without support. Really cool 3D art I think!
