Pls let me know what you think.

The horse is made out of 18mm Marine Plywood. It's an Anthony Dew horse from the Rocking Horse Shop, I have never power carved before, it was a bit narley and never used hand chisels. I stuffed up the nostrils but my daughter won't care. This first one is my test horse. anyone else making horses out there?
Cheers

I reckon the nostrils are the hardest parts to carve. It is not easy to get it right so you must take your time. It is a shame that you made a mistake. Have you considered making one out of solid wood?

I would not have imagined the elegance that the laminations would add to the project.
Almost zebra-like.
