Look What I Can Do...

Just kidding. I can't do this. Not even a little bit. But my husband can! Shane worked tirelessly on this rocking horse for a few months leading up to Christmas. He drew out the prototype, traced it onto some wood, and bada-bing, bada-boom, there you have it. No, really, it took quite a bit of planning and work, some help from a friend's toolshop, and of course help and support from Grandpa Oka, but dude...it seriously rocks (pun intended). It is completely made of wood with no screws or nails and the saddle and bit are inlaid. We plan on passing this one down to the grandkids.


And one of the bug...just for fun.
