This is the first Draught Horse that I did. I did not use the gel, rather I used the spray Varathane. I am happy with the pattern you produced, as a matter of fact, I must say it is my favorite so far.

This is an excellent pattern....you did a great job! I enjoyed making it, and it let me use my own imagination. You might notice that I changed the belt buckle...my wife is from Texas, so I HAD TO put a Texas quarter in it. This pattern was really a "challenge and a half"....WOW.
Thanks again.

I inlaid my daughter-in-law's name in this Saddle. I use mostly western and aromatic cedar and white or blue pine. I find it much easier to work with than the hard woods and the colour in the western cedar is so diverse.

Deleted the Mandrake from the Dragon as that was a request from my son for the past 3 yrs. The lace wood worked out real well for the belly section. Used 7 different wood types for this one including Cocabola.

Hi Garnet, I thought you'd like this pic. This is one of my Grade 11 students displaying his project. It took him approx 100 hrs to do... done with pine and cedar. He used various paints to add colour and his workmanship is excellent. Thanks for the detailed plan to work from.

When I completed the piece, I decided to enter into the Niagara Falls wood carving show where to my delight I won first place and best of show for category Intarsia! I have never entered a show before so was pleasantly surprised when collecting my artwork to see the winning ribbons attached.
Thanks for inspiring me into doing this work as I found it to be both challenging and rewarding.
