This wooden toy is interesting indeed! This toy was inspired by the old Limberjack toys made in the Appalachian mountains and can be used as a percussion instrument. Over the years I have enjoyed making Limberjack toys, but because they are played with a thin wooden paddle and a stick coming out the back of the figure, they were not pleasing to display, and it takes a bit of practice to play.
Here is my own take on the traditional Limberjack without losing the old time charm. This Limberjack was inspired by the famous moonshiner "Popcorn Sutton" and dances on an old cigar box. He dances by simply turning the wooden crank! I added a tin floor and little metal tacks under his shoes so that you can really hear him put on a show! Everything is carved and painted by hand. Only one like it! Figure stands 8.5" inches tall and is carved mostly from an old whiskey crate. Total height 12" inches. You can see Popcorn in action here:
Thanks for looking!
