Pengu 2008

We often meet up with Granny and my brother in law when there is a birthday. We went to a tiny restaurant in Ochanomizu today to raise a glass in honor of of Mrs P. This is the piece of pallet wood I was fiddling during the week. The sap wood color difference is not visible, but the shape and size are easy enough to discern. It has quite a jolly shape. As I was trimming off bits on the bandsaw I found the square end with the tail drawn on suggested feet stuck out to keep balance after jumping in the water, so I tried to accentuate that a little. Perhaps an object that invites itself to be picked up and played with while one is talking on the phone.
