Title: beckoning cat or oriental lucky cat
Post by: jeff44 on June 22, 2011, 01:47:52 pm

I am looking for a pattern for a beckoning cat or a oriental lucky cat.  I have a Vietnamese friend who would like a good year model for this year.  In vietnam they use the cat instead of the rabbit for this chinese year.  I have looked but all i found were dolls or statues.  I thank you for the help on the clay inlay, I bought an inexpensive toaster oven but have not got around to doing any yet.  Thanks for your help.

How about this one?

I would suggest to cut 2 pieces. First the cat from some 1" wood.

And the the sign from some thin, dark wood (1/8" walnut?)

The cat should be able to stand when finished.
Take care for the dimensions. The lines are a bit thick - but we have some folks in here who need it that way  :D ;D

EDIT: I might do one when I have a new saw...

regards

Torsten,
Thank you so much for the pattern.  It will look great.  I have some 3/4 red oak that should be great and some 1/8 walnut for the emblem.  I will try to post a picture when I finish.
