Norms rocking horse in oak - johndi - 10-30-2019
I built this for my granddaughter who is 10 months old
I can’t wait until she is big enough to try it
The oak was graciously offered here for free by another member (thanks again vapochilled)
I learned a lot on this project as I tried to use as many hand tools as possible

Nice job!
Question: do the sides splay out a bit for some stability???

Nice work.
Now's a good time to get started on that wooden SUV.

That was one of my favorite projects. Before it was completely finished I was taking care of my 2 year old granddaughter. She would get to ride the unfinished horse. Bribing grandchildren is a right of all grandpa’s.

DP the sides splay out at 12*
At the rate I build, I was lucky to have it done before she went to high school!

Ron, what did you use for a finish on yours?
I’m planning on Armrseal?

I have made several of that plan. I think the first was for a neighbor’s daughter who is now working in her dad’s hardware store. She and her two younger sisters used it, and it has been saved for the next generation

John I am an oil guy. Think it was Deft danish oil. But that little girl is now 24 and just got married.
