Brian Bogg’s shaving horse he wrote about in an issue of Fine Woodworking. Brian uses 2” thick stock for his horse while I just used 2×10 material. Because of this, the head is a little smaller than his but it only cost me $15.00 to make.

I have been thinking about making one so I could add an attachment to use it a stitching horse for leather work too.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course. That sure is a pretty horse, I hope you enjoy it. I made alot of Winsor chairs with one but it wasn’t as nice as yours.

Looks great, and not too difficult to build. Is the seat adjustable fore and aft, or do you fit it to yourself?

The seat is adjustable and slides down the body then locks in place with the turn of a locking bar.
