Nice work Claw
Reminds me of my Grandfather, he was a keen woodworker.
He never took a course or read a book, just picked up the tools and taught himself.
He was forever carving stuff or making furniture etc...
Just before his death i can remember him carving a length of chain out of a single piece of wood. It was probably a yard and 1/2 long and took him months, every link was almost perfect and identical.
He was a very patient man.
His favourite work though was making rocking horses, he must of made 50-60 of them, all us grandkids got one.
He also sold them to friends of the family etc.... he used to sell them for $250
which probably only covered the materials, plus a bit left over for some beer
This is the last horse he made before his death, he was nearly 80 and really struggled with it, this was the second one he made for me, the first one i had as a boy was stolen by some lowlife.
(thats real horsehair too, straight from the knackery)
Thanks for Sharing your work Clawmute
