My Kat
By: Leland Anderson
My Kat
"Entry for the stay at home and craft challenge. Used 3/4" scrap plywood, paint, wood scraps and clock parts. Used scroll saw to cut out main body and each raised piece. Worked for about 5 hours to complete. This Kat is something I have drawn since I was in high school and now put it on all Birthday Cards for my grandkids. I have also make a similar clock for each of my 4 sons. So I have been drawing this Kat for 55 years!"
