started by making a 8 in cardboard model,then a 24inch heavy cardboard model and then a full size 1/4 plywood profiles
after all sorts of changes I have the horse on cart ready for shaping out of solid wood
24 pieces of 2,6 laminated and fitted.
His name is penetangore and he is 12 hands high ,and in the spring he will be tied up to my front gate outside the shop
watching the traffic go by
But the work is just starting

How long does it take you to build this plywood one? Will you do some paintings yourself or just keep it as it is now?

[stan kern]

the plywood one was the model to built the solid wood one,the plywood one is about maybe 1.5 hrs on the cnc
I was a bit careful as I never have used the full size table on my cnc .
I was trying to sell the plywood one ,the wood one that I am carving or grinding out will be painted exterior
and he is going to be tied to a gate at the front of my shop
I am also going to use bondo to fill all the holes and spaces
