This is a quest to make all the slides featured in the Whittlin Jim's "Slide of the Month" in Boy's Life magazine. (Hopefully without doing lasting damage to my hands or fingers.) Blogging my progress along the way. I completed my task in March of 2017 and now post my own designs along with some other "Slide of the Month" contributors.

Pedro
Sometime between 2012 and 2015
Time to carve: 3.5 hours
Finishing: 2 hour
A two part slide, the head wobbles as you move. The body has a hollow area drilled into it and the head has a heavy bolt glued into it which extends into the body hole. It acts as a counterbalance for the head and the head is suspended by a loop on the head on a hook on the body. Painted with craft paint and given a couple coats of poly. The hair on the head and the tail is made from some black fake fur.
I was sorry to here about Pedro sidekick passing. Rest in Peace Tom
