Bucking Applejack Woodwork By xofox Watch

Glue seams. Glue seams everywhere.



But, of course, that is a nice byproduct of relearning all of these ponies with fixed-mane designs instead of thread manes. This will be my first wooden-mane Applejack, and, despite the glue seams and imperfect alignment I am not entirely disappointed in the result. It could have been much, much better, but I was worried that it would be much worse, so I'll take what I have. There's always another pony to work on and improve. I haven't done the applebucking pose in a long while, since way back in 2011, actually, and I feel like the body is disproportionately small compared to her head. Maybe it's just the way that the pose thins out the body shape, but it seems out of whack to me.

This one took a couple of weeks to get through; I've been busy at work. (I know that this is really going to shock some people, but doing nonprofit work forschoolchildren with incarcerated parents in a state ranked in the lowest 10% for both of schools and incarceration rates keeps you busy. Who knew?) I think I'll try to have a Derpy finished by March 1, but with this rate of progress, and work only picking up as we move toward camp season, that's a best-case scenario. Since it was already taking a while, I opted out of a hat for this piece, lets just say RD stole it.



Anyway, you folks stay fabulous.





Applejack is done in padauk and yellowheart wood, with a palm stand. Her hair ties are thread. She stands about 4 1/2 inches from the bottom of the stand to the top of her tail and about 4 inches nose to rear hooves.
