The body: Take some stuffing and stuff the foot part of the sock–not too tight! The tail: On the top of the bunny’s back, sew a circle about an inch in diameter with a simple running stitch.

Google Image Result for. The H.O. Studley Tool Chest. In July 1988, the back cover of Fine Woodworking magazine featured an awe-inspiring object: the vintage 19th-century tool chest of master carpenter and free & accepted mason H.O.
