@tyvekboy,

Thanks, Alex. I haven’t seen you in ages.

Beautiful! i am sure it will be a keepsake . It looks like she is a pro at riding it already..

What a nice Grampy !

A very pretty rocking horse.

I like the removal? step as a very well thought out feature.

Three done ??? to go!

Start of an addiction. Making rocking horses is a fun thing to do. I have rocked on all I have made; 60+ now do not even know how many. I have been making them for 30+ years too. Every one still seems to get it’s own personality too. I do not think any 2 were exact clones either. Some were sold, many given away to family and friends too.

First one I made is still in occasional use by G-Grandkids.

She will treasure it forever!

Really beautiful rocking horse! Lucky Granddaughter. I’m sure all of the rocking horses you’ve made will become heirlooms – they certainly should be. I love the purple heart and maple combination.

Well done, he will treasure that. I still have the one my dad made me when I was a little one. Lots of nieces, nephews, their kids, my kids, my grandkids, cousins have ridden that steed off into the sunset!
