I saw and ordered this pattern on the Wooden Teddy Bear site. I had no idea who's pattern it was until I got. It's a Sue Mey!
I cut it from 1/2" oak and finished it with Tung Oil.
Nice design there and looks like you made a great job of it, Fred.
I only realised the other day that you can tell who the designer is in the Wooden teddy Bear catalogue by the initials in front of the code number - at least if you recognise the initials ..
I do know that all the ones beginning SM are Sue's - and AD, for instance is Andy Deane .. It would actually be nice to have a full list - unless some designers wish to remain anonymous ..
There are companies out there that sell all types of animal eyes.I have used them in the past and they really make a big difference in the
finished item.Try and google them,sure you can find something.

Ebony is a black wood though it is hard to find and very expensive. For round eyes l have taken pieces of dowel and rounded them on a sanding wheel. When I get the shape that I want I stain them with ebony stain.
