Walnut Rocking Horse

image image

This is a Walnut Mustang Rocking Horse I made for my daughter last Christmas. I’m just getting around to posting it (a year late). The walnut has some fun grain and some crotch figure as well. It has accents with curly maple. She loves this rocking horse and it is a big hit any time her friends or cousins come over. I apologize for the bad pictures. Enjoy.
