Rocking Horse Riding ROCKS!



King Lion George Johnson made a rocking horse and donated it to our silent auction last fall.  We received the following email from the winners of the auction today!  Thank you for sharing your picture and story with us, Jacqueline and Dave.  We're glad Isaac enjoys riding his horse!

Hi George,

We won a Rainier Lions silent auction item last year and gave it to our great-nephew for Christmas. We wanted to show you how popular it is!
That’s Isaac on the rocking horse, singing “I’m a cowboy”.

Thanks for the great wood-working,

Jacqueline & Dave Pratt

Cabinet with 4 Punched Copper Panels


This is the cabinet Handcrafted by George in our Living room.  It is finished in a Min-Wax satin, dark mahogany color. 

American Girl Wardrobe



The center area of this wardrobe is big enough for an American Girl Doll to stand for storage.  The left and right sides are closets for clothes and shoes.  The bottom drawer is for accessories.  It is made of solid wood with 1/4" plywood back.
