Old horse

[rjR]

I am a little late on this one. 

It was made 36+ years ago now for my oldest grandson's 1st birthday.  Neighbor had given me the pattern. 

Made from purchased pine. 

Cut on one of the old tin-Dremels, that I had bought used! Strained the saw- cutting the rockers as a pair -- I remember a lot of sanding and filing away to get it even close to useable.  The picture is after a factory rebuild in the 90's sometime. It had sat outside through a couple of CA rainy winters because of space for storage   issues at the time.   

I now build much better rocking toys. 

Second picture is alpaca that i made about 2 years ago. I do have much better tools now and the difference shows on close examination. I might even be a little more skilled at cutting also.

Picture issues

Not sure about the pictures working, If they did not get where you can see them, please contact me, Thanks. 

Sorry these 2 had not worked somehow; probably "pilot error"!

nice job

With the teeth, short front legs, I think that could be a rocking Raptor.  Kids would love that.

Trying again- for some reason, probably "pilot error" I am not getting the pictures to work. 

 

The pictures that did come up are the Alpaca, and the T-Rex, not the horse I was trying to show.
