Looks good, Kiwik. Can we have a few details: background story, overview of construction, etc? The main supports look like high voltage insulators (look cool, though). Obviously a quality piece: are the kids allowed on it?
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

No kids allowed, the high voltage insulators are to ensure that the electric fence unit rigged to it gives the maximum "boot" when operated! :eek:

history of the horse
My daughter (now 35 yrs 2 kids) informed me she had always wanted a rocking horse as a kid and never got one.
So I glued a few bits of cedar and got out my arbortech freehand shaper (and just like the add says) trimmed off all the bits that didnt look like a horse.
The main supports are turned cedar and yes the kids do ride it.
