First Edition
"FANCY"
 |
This is the first horse I have made using this new technique. In Fancy's case, the raised saddle is carved from Padauk, also known as African Mahogany. This rarely seen wood naturally turns a beautiful reddish brown color with a hint of purple when oiled. The saddle blanket is Black Walnut, a naturally rich blackish brown color. The main body, as well as the boards of the rocking platform, are carved from specially chosen Birds-Eye Maple, which is known for it's beautiful markings, (click detail photo to right). The rockers are laminated Birch plywood for extra strength. |
| The breastplate on the leather martingale is a beautifully detailed piece of genuine silver plate and black enamel. There are matching "conchos" on the black walnut saddle blanket and on the nose piece. Additional silver and black strap decorations are riveted on the shoulder leather.
