This is the first horse that I made. It was made for my wife, Diane.
The horse is NOT stained or painted. The colors are ALL natural based on the woods used. The horse shown is made from: Maple, Paduak, Purpleheart, and Walnut.
Two coats of clear lacquer were put on to protect the horse. Mirrors are in the center of the rockers. Ribbons can be added to the pole for decoration.
The horse measures 27” high and 4.5” wide at saddle, and 45” at top of pole. Rockers are 1.5” X 45” spaced 14” apart. The 1.25” wooden pole can be replaced with a steel pipe for rigorous rocking, if desired.
