Western General Store

Here's a way you can use our Longhorn Skull Drawer Pulls . The post and base are put together with a mortise and tenon joint, glue and a screw in the bottom. Drill holes where you want the drawer pulls. I sprayed a couple of coats of varnish, let dry and attach the drawer pulls. You can paint the wood or the drawer pulls any color you desire.

There's a herd of Texas Longhorns down the road from us and I've taken several photos. I took one of the photos and placed on graphite paper on bass wood to trace the outline of the head. With a wood burning tool from the craft store ($25.00) I burned in the image and finished all the shading. I framed it in maple wood for a tray. I used the Steer Drawer pulls for the handles which I spray painted textured brown and sealed the wood with a salad bowl finish. Items from westerngeneralstore.com for this project: Steer Drawer Pulls
