Three Blind Mice

[Dakota Saw Dust]

This is one of Steve's Patterns with a few alterations. When a friend stack cut a few, I got the idea for the 3 blind mice. Now the question is for the younger members of the forum.  Most young people I've shown this to don't know the nursery rhyme.  Google it  and enjoy my variation.  PS I want to put them a piece of cheese but lack the imagination. Any ideas ??

I have a quick idea.
Use some pine (maybe southern yellow pine) or any wood with a yellow-ish  tint about 3/4" or thicker. Cut out a triangle with one curved side.
Drill random holes of various sizes all over the top and sides an 1/8" deep or so. Then glue the mice on the top of the cheese.

PS. Another cute idea is "hickory, dickory, Doc the mouse ran up the clock". I found a pattern of that one a long time ago but, I'm not sure where I found it. It may be one of Steve's patterns from a long time ago, check out his patterns.

Great job on that.  AS for the cheese get a piece of a yellow pine 2 x 12 cut it into a wedge shape.  Bore several different sized holes into it to make it look somewhat like a big piece of swiss cheese, use the scroll saw to cut chewed areas where you will put the mice near.  Thanks for sharing this with us.
