Grandson is way into Buzz Lightyear and shouts "to infinity and beyond" often. I try to stay away from branded characters. Elmo was an exception. So I made this generic astronaut. I cut it out of 1/2 inch mahogany. Some friends of mine had been in the Peace Corps in Africa in the 1960s, and when they shipped their belongings home, the crates were made of mahogany. After saving the wood for decades, they gave it to me.
