But this wasn’t just any airplane rocker, the idea was to capture the look of a specific T6 Texan that his son-in-law flew. Below are some of the details of this project: Started with 8/4 Bass Wood purchased from CO Lumber. Prototyped the idea out of cardboard and milled down the required pieces. Used a piece of aspen, also purchased at CO Lumber, for the wing. The design idea was to capture the look of a specific T6 Texan that my son-in-law flew, so that involved painting it. The insignia was hand-painted. Here’s the finished product. We presented the gift and he immediately climbed on and started rocking. My son-on-law, and the photo that inspired the idea. Such an amazing and well done project! Thank you Corky for sharing!
