Should look like this one when it gets back from the painters

whoa , what a carriage , the painted horse are outstanding too

[gary Zimmel]

Real sweet carriage Allan.
How many hours to make one?

[Alan Jones]

Thanks Gary, theres about a month/five weeks work in the two wheeler, a four wheeler takes about seven/eight weeks, although that is spaced over a length of time as I do it when I have the time to spare from my regular work

[Bill Wyko]

WOW absolutely extraordinary. Maybe you could take us through the build process some day. Welcome to our family here. Thanks for posting your work.

[Alan Jones]

Thanks for your kind comments Bill, Ill be building a one for my own use after the turn of the year to be pulled by my little gypsy cob Henry and will
document this build

[Todd Hoppe]

Amazing. What is such a vehicle used for? Is it intended for a specific purpose, or a variety of uses? Parades?

[Gregory Peterson]

Amazing. Though it looks cool painted, I would cry to see something like this done in a heavily figured walnut and finished with a plain oil. Painted wood hides a lot of imperfections :)

[Eric DeSilva]

Color me curious too--they look very stylized, which leads me to believe wedding or something?

[Jeff Monson]

Wow Alan, thats awesome work!! I'd love to see the build process on a set of wheels.

[Alan Jones]

These types of vehicle were originally used as light trade vehicles, so the pick-up truck of the day:D though they would have been less ornately carved back then.

Used for private driving classes these days and the carving is a bit of a status symbol as the really ornately carved ones can get quite costly to build

Wow. That is cool. Like someone else said, you don't see something like that everyday. Thanks for sharing.
