This set is a result of me working on the giraffe bowling set that I made for my wife while at work. A co-worker saw me working on it. My inspiration is a Penguin Bowling Set using the following pattern: www.bittersweetblog.com/2009/01/19/not-quite-duck-pins. She asked if could come up with a bowling set featuring barn owls. This is the pattern that I came up with. Unlike the penguins and giraffes, all of the owl are made exactly the same. But it can be made in different colors by substituting any color for the warm brown.
