Carving "Chinook"

Bill, thats a beaut carving job. I guess getting the outline perfect is tricky but the shaping & rounding would be a real challenge.

Beautiful, out standing job.
Wished I`d had one of those when i was a child, instead of that stick horse,
Funny thing about a stick horse, no matter how far you ride you still feel like you walked all the way.

Man, that is one heck of a rocking horse. Fantastic job!

Bill;

How did you get the horse to lie still?

This is the nicest looking rocking horse I’ve seen.

Extremely well done.

. . . and I thought my husband’s horse was great. His “doesn’t quite make it” in comparison. He said he’ll have to try again when we have great-grandkids. We love your horse.

Is it solid? Or is his “belly” hollow? The real horsehair and saddle were a terrific finishing touch. What an heirloom!
