Here it is finally with good weather that was needed to do the final spraying and my body that allowed me to finish it with much help from LOML 1st Grandsons rocking horse.

I couldn't locate my other WIP :roll:

Now have 2 more rockers to make thankfully a 12 month time limit both will be motor bikes 1 for 2nd grandson other to stay at our place so they can use them here.

Ray

Edit

Ray,

Kids love presents from their grand fathers. I know mine do.

Impressed and well done.

Thank you for the comments especially the Master Horse maker Scott

How I'd love to make one even half as good as his.

It may have taken a bit longer than you thought but the grandson won't mind

Good one Granddad!

(I am about to undercoat my second sit in rocking horse and then there is another one to go (dead line mid November and not yet started) This I week got side tracked into making a dolls bed and then there is the daughter wanting her gym room completed... never ends but I love it.

How do I stop her from looking at the wwf..
Ray Looks good man. Even the tail.I have seen horses with their tail sticking up like that.Don't know why they do that for though.:roll:
Very nice

Looking good Ray. So will the Jarrah be made into a bike or a Horse?:)

(You can tell Sue helped, that little bit of panache with the Horse's face, while his rear end has Ray's name all over it :q )

OH YEH .Pat reminded me when Jarrah was mentioned.The women in the post office yesterday told me that postage is going up monday.I had to pay 55 c for stamps to use next week.So maybe you better have a whip around for your Jarrah shipment.
Maybe sell the horse and take child to The pictures or something.:doh::doh::no:

Keju you wouldn't survive I'm a hard task master :D

Aussie Show horses have tails braided and stuck up like that :roll::; but they also do it to have a clear line of air to surface bomb drop.

Maybe I should turn up some Rocking Horse poo :U

Ty John & John & Wood Junky

Pat some of the Jarrah will be used for the 2 motor bike rockers the rest is going to the woodies club for special project.:2tsup:
