Finished making large rocking horse for granddaughters Christmas on the 19th December. Purchased a plan for rocking horse from The rocking horse shop in August 2008 and finally got round to beginnning the project at the beginning of November 2008. Horse completed by week before Christmas. Bought mane and tail, bridle and stirrup leathers from rocking horse shop - everything else I made (including the eyes). I used an ash tree which I combed from Prestwick beach and topped this up with kiln dried ash from Fairlie sawmill. Hence the title of the associated photo.
