My carousel horse

[hairbrain4]

My husband just finished this. There is no stain, it's all natural hardwoods. He's getting pretty good at it. I love this one. It complements the actual carousel that he made for me a few years ago.

It's lovely!

He does nice work

[hairbrain4 in reply to falalalala]

Thanks, I lucked out when I found him. He is very talented with woodworking, but he can also fix anything and he can do my hair, he is also a cosmetologist/instructor. I always tease him that he is the only man I know that can wear a tool belt with a hammer & drill on one side and a blowdryer & scissors on the other side! When I met him he did finish carpentry. Then he checked out a beauty school for our daughter & decided he could do that. "It's all the same," he said. As it turned out it pretty much is all the same... angles and color. He's a certified master colorist (hair color) but he so far has been able to match any stain old or new.

Wow!

Those skills would make a good hairdresser. Attention to detail.

Too bad they don't all know that

He is SO extremely talented. and Yes, Lucky you. does he do your hair color? I'd love to see the carousel he built for you!

[hairbrain4 in reply to Sandydemop]

Thank you! The horses are ceramics that he painted, the top & bottom are Padauk that he turned on a lathe & then did an inlay around the base. The poles are brass.
