No carving is required. Authentic looking classic Merry-go-rounds horses. 34 inches long x 27 inches high at the seat x 16 inches wide. A sales leader and a classic style like on the grand Carousels of the 1800s. Nearly all wood with white ash, walnut, padauk and purple heart shown.

Turning (not essential) can enhance the spacers between rockers and on the round finial on the pole. Add colored ribbons if wanted. Can be ridden if modified with a metal pole. A splendid addition for interior designs and a great prop for photographers shooting children is portraits. An audio module can be added to simulate horse whinnies. |

Rocking Horse, Clyde n’ Dale
Think this project is above your skill level? It is not -- you can build both horses and finish as pictured, or build just one horse as many woodworkers choose to do with this project. (Good luck getting two kids to not fight while on the rocking horse at the same time -- we think this is the reason!) One child can straddle both horses, too, if you are only building for one child. Seat height is 20 inches, length 34 inches. You will get full size patterns, instructions in a friendly paragraph format, photos during construction, and a complete list of the materials. Tips for decorating are included, but let your imagination run wild when it comes to finishing off this one-of-a-kind rocking horse. |

Easy to make, this sturdy, sure-footed pony has been created to capture the spirit and beauty of an antique loyal steed. Cut the lumber to size using the provided materials list, then cut and shape the pieces using the full size, traceable patterns. 3 ft x 4 ft large blueprint! The rockers are calibrated curves to give maximum action and they are recurved at the ends for safety against tipping. The piece can be made of pine, or if you prefer, it can be made of a more expensive hardwood. Finishing possibilities are endless. The photos you see here are ones sent by fellow woodworkers of their finished rocking horses -- so many look great! Overall finished dimensions: 52-1/4 inches long, 12 inches wide, by 28-1/2 inches high. Note: Instructions are limited due to the intuitive nature of the rocking horse -- shop notes are provided, however, along with a full materials list, exploded assembly diagrams, and full size patterns. |
