Description: This item is a giant solid wood rocking horse. This horse is the rocking horse you have dreamed of. This massive solid wood horse is a perfect fit for anyone looking to impress friends with a handmade solid laminated wood horse, suitable for a big kid and even 250 pound adult. This unique handcrafted rocking horse is a one-of-a-kind piece that is perfect for both children and adults alike. Made from high-quality solid wood (appears to be pine) and crafted with artisan craftsmanship, this classic wooden toy is sure to bring hours of enjoyment or conversation. This is a large wood piece measuring in at approximately 33" long, 28.5" tall, and 18" wide. The rocking horse is crafted from glue laminated wood, which appears to have been cut to design, and glued with wood dowel supports in the legs, feet and rocker. The body of the horse (torso) measures approximately 8"x20" and is cut out to allow the head to be partially inserted into the torso area. The saddle appears to be glued with dowel supports, and the handlebars and foot pegs are large wooden rods, which have been cut to length and glued into the wooden frame of the horse. The wood shows off natural knots and annual rings. The mane and tail appear to be burlap rose, which has been glues into drilled out holes, and frayed to give the existing appearance. This solid wood rocking horse weighs a monster 46 pounds and could support the weight of a 250-pound rider. Perfect for any grown up kid who loves wooden horses or wooden craft. This horse was acquired through an estate sale, which the nursing home story states that the buyer purchased this horse from a wood working student who was already working on the horse at Arcadia High School at the time. The horse was finished in 1990, at which the buyer acquired the horse. The craftmanship does appear to be of high school age quality with minor mistakes noted. There is about a 1/2 inch spacing where the four feet connect to the rocking base platform but is still structurally sound. (note, a buyer could simply but hoof fur at the base to cover the flaw). In addition, there are several areas with exposed wood dowels, small gaps and spaces, a few dings and dents, and the overall just a bit WONKY, but the horse is structurally solid, provides a gentle rocking motion and is built like a tank. The horse has a layer of urethane varnish, which gives off a satin finish appearance to the wood. Dont pass up this once in a lifetime chance for a one of a kind horse. The horse comes packaged in a custom box, with wood base supports for protection for optimal logistics of moving this HUGE horse.
