“A business associate commissioned me to make an heirloom rocking horse for her grand daughter. There was a lot of fine-tuning in order to get the feet to mount smoothly to the base.
The main is comprised of individual strands of yarn glued into 450+ 1/8th inch holes drilled every 1/4 of an inch up the neck and head.”
