Default Finished Horse
I struggled on how to finish this piece and finally decided on sandpaper, then went with a cherry stain with painted feet, mane and face. I have learned from this one, how to improve the next one. I had a piece of mahogany so used it to make a base. Thanks for looking

That is a great looking horse Earl. Now you need to do more horses, a wagon, and a Dalmation,with a few kegs , and you will be set.

I like it, Tom
