Hi Everyone as a lurker for awhile I've seen some great work, and lots of Plans, but I was looking for plans for an antique style rocking horse. You know, the one that really looks like a horse, with ornate saddle, and carved ends on the rockers. Had a guy who was making them and the people were lining up to order them at 350.00 a pop plus depending on the wood. This one is just for the grand nephew though. Thanks in advance.

Simple. Google - carousel rocking horse plans - 9,000+ hits. Just pick the plans you want. Used to be some free plans out there, but don't know if they're still available or not.
JOAT If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them.

Hi,
I made three rocking horses using plans from Wood magazine, Nov 1995. They can also be had online,
Beautifully done, but a question... the wood looks as if it's one piece or is it glued up and cut out?

Hi,
The ones I made were glued up and cut out. I suppose you could use some thicker stock and save some effort doing the laminations. There is some advantage in making the bottom rocker from laminated pieces, because you can orient the grain on the pieces being laminated at an offset -- which makes the curved rockers a bit stronger.
Cheers, Nate
