Other things I make

[ragz]

Thought I'd toss this up here. Since it's the other things we make thread. Not related to turning but wood none the less

carved Carousel horse about 2.5' tall. Still rough and needs alot of finishing work and the legs to be permanently attached

Wow that is really something. How large is it? I am going to assume it's more than one piece of wood.

That is a real good job on carving, I can only carve on the lathe while it is in motion but I can not do things like this, it would be nice to see a bowl with a carving like the bridal on the horse all around the bowl, keep up the good work. Aloha.

If you're gonna paint'er, I sure would like to see the finished product...

Actually pine
Will likely be stained in various tones rather then painted
Yes more then one piece of wood
No I hadn't posted on any other wood working site aside from wood turning
It's approximately 2.5' tall x 2.5' long

Did you get'r painted yet?
Gonna post pics?

 

[ragz]

MD,

No not yet. Carving has taken a bit of a back seat for the time being. I'll be sure to post some updated pics though when I do get it done
