Beautiful penguin, but take the collar off.

Just a note to anyone who might want to try this, you should know that bowling pins often have a significant void in the base. I've dismantled many of them in my hobby and you typically see a couple holes about 30mm drilled thru the inner layers. If you were turning a pin and hit one of those holes, a very nasty accident could result.

I would often watch my grandfather carving bowling pins into candlesticks on his lathe almost 60 years ago. Thanks for the memories!

Used to live near Corry, Pennsylvania. It had a bowling pin factory. You could get a pickup full of seconds blanks and scraps for a buck or two. They were loaded by a conveyor belt. It was all maple I believe and burnt real well in the old coal furnace and fireplace. This was in the 50s and 60s.

That was fun to watch! The hat is adorable, it all is! Using the original paint for his collar really brings it together. Shows his origin. I will always think of this snowman when I see a bowling pin! Well done!

When we used bowling pins in my High School class we had to saw off about 1 1/2 inches of the base to make a flat, solid surface for the spindle.

It is totally irrelevant as to the hidden identity. The only important issue is the piece itself. Beautiful! Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year.

I was wondering where you were going with it. I resited the urge to fast fwd. It was a bit frustrating lol. But in the end , good job.

Just stunning! So very beautiful! I do have a question. Why did you put that piece of plastic around his neck at the very end?

It’s a snowman but the wood pattern can easily be a penguin too.

Was ready to say snowman till you put the hat on. It seemed to change it to a penguin, especially with the darker wood on the sides that look wings. Some pieces of wood under the nose in a curved mouth pattern would make it a snowman.

My 7th grade shop class made lamps out of bowling pins in 1964

Penguin 😊

Penguin,,,,, notice the wings it has that correspond with the original laminate that made up the bowling pin.
