Rocking Horse

Outstanding work Derek! I recently watched a show that had the same style of rocking horse mentioned in it. For the life of me I cant remember a whole lot, but I do remember this style goes way back in history. Very cool to see someone taking the time to build one today.

Hats off and well done! Thanks for sharing…

This is really nice, Derek; excellent work.

Fantastic job on the rocking horse. I have intended to build one for my grandaughters for a long time, but never seem to get started. Maybe I can get it done for their high school graduation.

My wife collected ceramic rocking horses for many years and we always were on the look out for a real one like this. A fabulous job!! Thanks for sharing.

Wow. I am speechless, what art. Quick question though, what wood did you use for this project, and what was your shaping/carving process?

That is destined to be a family heirloom!

Reminiscent of the old carousel horses. Beautiful job!

If you look at the U tube link in the write up you will see the how it was made as for material many are surprised to find out the horse is made from MDF the stand from Ash and all the accessories and plans from a company called The Rocking Horse Shop
