Carousel Horse - 2000

Other Pictures of this Carving

This is my second carousel horse.  One of the things I look for in carved carousel horses is the facial expression, and I think I've captured a good one here.  I'm pleased with this carving and I think it is much better than my first carousel horse.  This project took me nearly four months to complete, with a significant portion of that time spent hand-sanding every detail.

This carving won both First Place and Best of Division ribbons at the Novice level at the Great Salt Lake Woodcarvers' 2000  show.

Size: 5.75 inches high

Wood: Basswood

Finish: Acrylic sealer over acrylic paint
