Gift From My Son

[gmwolford]

My son presented me with this red oak tamper he whittled for me.

He did it all by hand with this knife:

Sanded with several grits of sandpaper and finished with gunstock wax. Proud of it is an understatement.

You made the right choice by feeding him all these years.
Seriously though Greg that is awesome. You should be proud. That's something you'll look back on over the years.

Thank you all for the many kind words. I am very proud of him and the job he did for his first try ever at carving anything. Oh, and I made a mistake on the wood: it's walnut. He had used a different piece than I thought.
