Sadly I wasn't there to help finish sanding and stain the final product, but Sergio did an amazing job of finishing Manny. We decided early on to use a stain instead of paint on the body to show the wood's natural grain and whorls it had in it. (It was too pretty not to.) Overall, I think it turned out pretty nicely and was extra secure with the added back joint addition and thinner, more snugly-fit slots.
Introducing: Manny the Mammoth.
In other Colorado news: the bride and groom invited us to go on a 5 hour
hike today to this amazing place. (He proposed here, hence the family
hike.) We were not disappointed.
