Awhile ago I asked for suggestions for a baby gift. I had several excellent suggestions. I decided to make a rocking horse. I know a newborn has no use for a rocking horse, but when the baby gets old enough it will get a lot of use.
The legs are cherry the body is quartersawn white oak and the neck and head are flat sawn oak. Here's the horse with a coat of shellac. I'm going to try and get it mounted of the rockers tomorrow. I'm shooting for this weekend to be finished. The wife said she would take over and do the saddle, mane, and tail.
I added a couple of pics of the finished woodworking. I need to put on a couple of more coats of finish.
The finished horse.
