Rocking Deer Template



 


From bass to seat height = 214 pixels, and 21.4 inches in wood is a good small rocker height, so let's set our scale so that every pixel is 1/10 of an inch. Then 

Legs x4:

80 pixels wide in image, or 8 inches wide in wood.

195 pixels long, or 20 inch long in wood (or 1.6 feet)



Torso x1 (or x2 or x3 for width?):

216 pixels long, or 22 inches long in wood (or 1.8 feet)

83 pixels high, or 8 inches high in wood


Rocking stand:

55 pixels high, or 6 inches in wood

393 pixels long, or 40 inches long in wood (or 3.3 feet)


Head:

...

Most of the pieces can be made from 10 inch wide boards. You'd think they could be made from 8 inch wide boards, but "8 inches wide" is a nominal dimension in lumber, and the boards of that description really measure 7.5 inches. If you want to cut a shape that's 8 inches wide, you need a 10 inch wide board.

I might make a doe or fawn at this scale and then a buck at a larger scale later.
