    Rocking horse

    I built this for our Great Grand Daughter, who will be 1 in April. Cherry and maple, with a double layer for the head and body. The plans were from Woodcraft plans.

    Great looking horse. Does he have a name? I really like the eyes.

    Very nicely done on the horse, Mike. You didn't by chance do the table that sits to the right? If so... I really like the design.

    Sarge..

    John;
    The table was store bought before I retired and started this hobby. I like the design also. Maybe a copy is in order.

    Congrats you made it!

    I was just surfing the wood online link for Wood magazine and found your horse. It is on the front page of the e-mail they send out to subscribers! Congrats!

    Very nice work!

    I made a similar horse for my daughter when she was born. It took a while for her to enjoy it, but once she was big enough (1yr) it became one of the best projects I've ever built ... simply because of her love for it then, and now (she's 2.5yrs).

    Good choice of a gift!

    Thanks for the heads up on that. I had failed to notice it and went back to the e-mail. Hey, I've been e-published.
