Eric built this wooden rabbit rocker for some friends of ours in Illinois who had a sweet little baby girl in February. Anna's only 4 months old right now, but soon enough she'll be able to balance on her bunny and go for a ride. (Or at least grab ahold of the furry cottontails.)
This is just one of many fun baby gifts that Eric's created in his "workshop of wonderfulness" (as I like to call it.) Here are some of my favorites:
Big Ball Rocker
Ride 'em Kitty Cat
Owl Bookcase
Bird Rockers
Wiener Dog Rocker
Eric had a woodworking request for another rocker. This playful pooch is going to be a 1st birthday present for a little boy. Except, the grandmother asked if the dachshund could be a tiny bit taller. Absolutely. It just makes the pup a little "chubbier," but still very adorable.
This rocker is made out of cherry with a natural finish, and is somewhat lighter than the previous one he build in November.
I love how each dog is just a little bit different. Makes them special and one-of-a-kind. As is everything that comes out of Eric's workshop.
****FABULOUS FOLLOW-UP! How cute is this little guy on his new doxie rocker? Ryan celebrated his 1st birthday today, and his mom sent us a lovely "thank you" and this adorable photo. Dang. That just makes me smile. Enjoy, precious boy!
Eric had a special request to make another dachshund rocker for a woman who's first grandbaby arrives in March.
The first rocker he built was made out of white oak. This one, he built out of cherry wood. I just love how the green grass compliments the color. Looks like he's bounding through our lawn.
Here's hoping many generations are able to create great memories on this sweet little doxie.
