I was expecting a topic with Mr. Ed's pic in it.

I use mine with a draw knife and spokes shave for handles and such Hammer to sledge they work great. I've made bows on them, and decoys.
Thanks RPH!
A horse is a horse of course of course! Ya, I'm that old!

That is a nice upgrade but I'd need some padding; No way I can sit on a hard board anymore! Whatever those bones are in your *** just cut right through...

I don't get it. Is that block between the wheels a seat-back?

One use is for making lacrosse sticks. It's not nearly as common as it used to be but there are some craftsman that still make traditional sticks.

Could be, but for right now it's a block of leftover wood. I am thinking of putting a dowl in the bottom, then drilling several holes a couple of inches apart to use it as one. Or doing the same with a tractor seat.

Need to come up with a good name for this foal?
Trigger and Silver are a bit to EZ.
