Past Projects - Rocking Horse

Every year there is a "build-off" for Woodworkers Fighting Cancer where for every completed project a group of sponsors donate money to cancer research.  In 2011 I participated and built the rocking horse below for my daughters.  The horse is built out of pre-laminated pine from the big-box store and is finished in a few coats of shellac (and pink  paint for the saddle).  This was a fun project, and my daughters loved it!

Past Project - Blanket Chest

This is a blanket chest that I built in November-December 2011.  The blanket chest was built out of Birch and is painted with General Finishes in "Lamp Black" and a top-coat of General Finishes Polyacrylic.  The plan for this project is based upon plans found at woodonline.com, which I modified slightly to fit our needs. 

 
All the parts ready for assembly.

The solid-wood top glued up.

Dry-fit.

All done (in time for Christmas).
