This flexible elephant was an experiment inspired by previous comments here. A cyclist recommended saving old inner tubes and using the rubber and a reply in a turning thread which suggested super glue to mend cracks.
I made slots in the body sections with a dovetail saw, ran the glue into the slot and was able to slide in a strip of tube and clamp it to pinch the slot. I am amazed how strong the bond is. Its a bit fiddly but with practice should become easier.
The wood is Turkey Oak from a tree in our garden and the wheels old tent pole. The ears are felt from an old Loan Rangers hat!!
