manatee puzzle request filled

[BilltheDiver]

A short while back I asked if anyone had a pattern for a manatee puzzle I could use to fill a request for a friend.  shutterbugdm was kind enough to send me a pattern of a compound cut manatee.  I used that one as a rough guide, made the compound cut on the bandsaw, and then added the puzzle cuts on the scrollsaw.  It turned out not too bad at all.  I made it from a leg  of a discarded coffee table someone gave me.

Looks great Bill. I made the original Manatee compound pattern, and it looks quite good in the puzzle format too

Bill, nice job you did with the modifications to my pattern. Here is another pattern of a Dolphin for future projects such as this one you just did.

Thanks to all for your comments!  Oges, I remember that you sent me the pattern of the mother and calf, but I didn't know you were the originator of the compound pattern, so my thanks for that as well.
