Work in progress for Scarlet, the rocking horse, also the younger sister of Taylor.
She is being made from recycled maple (used to be a bed.)
My preferred method of construction is to use template patterns made from thin MDF. This enables me to make multiple parts quickly and accurately with minimal edge sanding.
To start I arrange the templates onto the timber to make best use of this precious and wonderful material (usually pine.) Anything left over goes towards making smaller toys until all that is left is sawdust.
To attach the templates to the work-piece I use double sided tape and run a pattern cutting bit mounted in a router table.
This is the method I used to make the rockers using a half template: if I was going to make more than one rocking horse I would use this method to make a full template.
