German Smoking Figure

[bmac]

One of the demos I attended at SWAT was on German Smoking Figures by Colwin Way. They are used to burn incense in and the smoke comes out the mouth. Naturally, I had to try to make one and since today is my sons birthday, I did a Fireman theme smoker for his desk at headquarters. First attempt came out pretty good, just need to get my steps down to cut down on the amount of time to make one. Will definitely be making more of these, the possibilities for themes are endless. The wood is Maple and African Blackwood for the shoes and the pole hook is a square cut nail that I filed and a Dremel with grinding stone to shape it. It stands about 7'' tall and ~4 wide.

Very neat. My step dad and brother are both firefighters. If they burned incense, I'd have to steal this to make for them lol.
