    The rocker is looking great so far, can't wait until it is finished. How thick is the timber that you have used and how big is it altogether.

    That is looking great Wasi. I did that one, and my 19 month old grandson absolutely loves it.

    I really like the look of it.


    Can I make 1 suggestion? Glue a strip of leather on the bottom side of the rockers. The leather will stop the horse from sliding, and it protects your timber floor.

    Beautifully constructed and well finished horse. The use of contrasting colours really set it of.
