Project Information
I've been a MIA Lumberjock for awhile now, so I'm jumping back in. I made about 40 "head" of mules last year for Christmas presents and sold a bunch to subsidize a new planer. I have mule loving friends around the world and many wanted one of these "jacks". The jack helps to remove boots or shoes by placing one heel between the ears (lines with bison leather) and putting the ball of the other foot on the nose. I modeled it after my own mule's picture and made a MDF template, I have a short riser block underneath to tilt the head up to about 7 degrees. One client wanted a herd of assorted wood species, "smoky elm" was on sale at Rockler at the time so there are plenty made from that one.
