Not one piece of Oak in it -

Leaves are different shades of Poplar
Acorns are Western Cedar
Ribbon is Box Elder
Frame is White Pine
Backboard is 1/4" Aspen Ply

This was a fun one - hardest one so far. At the end of the I'm back to Judy's Studio for the Intermediate1 class. Gotta make my racoon.

The good woodworker does not craft the wood for honor. He uses his craft to honor the wood.

You really did a fine job with this project from wood selection to shaping. You better make sure that the squirrels outside don’t see those acorns, they will try to break in.

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.

Two corrections to the above: it was 1950 and the saw was an Eclipse brand.
