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.

Slide of the Month Extra: Philmont 2022
Day 1 and we are arriving at Philmont Scout Ranch. So much to do today getting ready for us setting out on our trek. The slide today is the buffalo's head which is the symbol of Philmont 2022.
Carved from a piece of red maple and the horns are made from plastic. I used a wood burner to make the hairs on the head and then stained the head a dark brown. I painted the horns black and drilled a couple of holes to glue the horns in place. The nose and beard is also painted black. The eyes were done with paint pens. Though hard to see, the lettering is done with waterslide paper and a couple of coats of poly finish it off.
