Time to Carve: 2.5 hours
Finishing: 2 hours
I was a little torn on making this one. On one hand this looks too much like a hand grenade (at a quick glance) for comfort. On the other hand ... it is really a good looking slide. I guess I won't wear this one anywhere were anyone would get nervous about it. The body of the grenade is made out of pine and the gruves were made using a round file. The top and the handle were made of poplar for strength. The very bottom was also made out of poplar too (because I had a piece that was the right size). All the parts were glued together using wood glue and painted using craft paint. It is finished using a couple of coats of poly.
