This is Charlie Alm's original design Limberjack Doll. He's made them this
this way since 1953! With many thousands sold all over the world, this
has become the defacto design for limberjacks. May be used as a toy or
a precussion instrument. Often used in old-time, Celtic, Irish and various
other folk forms of music. The limberjack is also found in many doll
collections. Sometimes they are left with the plain wood finish and other
times painted, decorated, or even clothed in fabric clothes! Often
they have faces drawn, painted or carved on their heads. They are also
know my many other names, including: dancing man, dancing
Dan, jig doll, and others. You sit on one end of the paddle board, hold
the little
guy with one hand out near the farthest end of the board, and bounce the
board with your other hand -- he
dances up a storm! Click on photo above to see how to hold the limberjack.
