Should look like this one when it gets back from the painters

whoa , what a carriage , the painted horse are outstanding too

[gary Zimmel]

Real sweet carriage Allan.
How many hours to make one?

[Alan Jones]

Thanks Gary, theres about a month/five weeks work in the two wheeler, a four wheeler takes about seven/eight weeks, although that is spaced over a length of time as I do it when I have the time to spare from my regular work

[Bill Wyko]

WOW absolutely extraordinary. Maybe you could take us through the build process some day. Welcome to our family here. Thanks for posting your work.

[Alan Jones]

Thanks for your kind comments Bill, Ill be building a one for my own use after the turn of the year to be pulled by my little gypsy cob Henry and will
document this build

[Todd Hoppe]

Amazing. What is such a vehicle used for? Is it intended for a specific purpose, or a variety of uses? Parades?

[Gregory Peterson]

Amazing. Though it looks cool painted, I would cry to see something like this done in a heavily figured walnut and finished with a plain oil. Painted wood hides a lot of imperfections

[Eric DeSilva]

Color me curious too--they look very stylized, which leads me to believe wedding or something?

[Jeff Monson]

Wow Alan, thats awesome work!! I'd love to see the build process on a set of wheels.

These types of vehicle were originally used as light trade vehicles, so the pick-up truck of the day though they would have been less ornately carved back then.

Used for private driving classes these days and the carving is a bit of a status symbol as the really ornately carved ones can get quite costly to build
