A couple of years ago I became re-aquainted with wookworking.  I bought a lathe to start making bowls.  When my oldest daughter told me she was pregnant, I wanted to make something for her children to have that was made by their Grandpa, so I made a rocking horse.  When my second daughter became pregnant, I made this rocking horse.  I have two more rocking horses to make for my two youngest daughters. 

This rocking horse is made with walnut, maple and padauk.
