Sept 26 2008 #3 Carrousel


I put the pictures in the blog in a certain order and they seem to move around when they are posted, so I describe the photos.

The picture of the horse and the picture on the wall is a seventeen year old girl that made the horse from a kit.

The picture of the blocks of wood is from the shop and how a carousel animal starts out. The blocks of wood are decided by the templet for the animal being carved.



The owner in the blue shirt shows us how some carving tools work.

Many of you know Norm loves wood working and he really enjoyed the hands on tour. I love to wood work too and know my way around the shop so I also really enjoyed the tour.

Don't worry you don't have to love wood working to truly appreciate the art of carrousel making.

And yes we were right in the official workshop.
