Missing a Foot

Missing a Foot

Jan 31

 

 

This great piece came in from one of the Nutcracker Club members.

 

This piece had to wait till after the Holidays to come in for repairs because it was on display. The member cleverly hid the missing foot in the display’s snow.

 

Along with the missing left foot, the pin was sticking out the right side a bit so I removed it and reworked it a little to make it fit flush.

 

Here are a few pictures of the piece before the new foot (click on the pictures for a larger view):

 

 

 

Here are pictures of the piece with the new foot carved, stained, and painted to match the original:

 

 

 

 

He’s all fixed up and ready to be displayed with or without snow now.
