Rocking Striper with Plug in its Mouth

When my two daughters were younger I made one a rocking horse and the other a rocking cow. This year my oldest wanted a special rocking animal for my new Grandson. So I chose to do a rocking fish with a wood plug in its mouth of course, named "Sammy the Striper". Trouble was there was no design to be had anywhere so I came up with my own. Finished product is 47" long and 35" high and can hold my daughter and her son. The tail is held on with screw eyes with bushings between them so that it moves while he rocks.
