To date Tom has carved three Carousel Horses. Each one is a one of a kind and
will not be reproduced. These magnificent horses are the size of a standard outside row Carousel
horse and are fashioned in the American carousel style, which means that the horse, if mounted on
an actual carousel would turn counter clockwise (European Carousels turn clockwise). This also
means that more detail is put into the side that would face the public. Over 200 hours of work
goes into making one of these horses, from carving it out and putting it together to actually
painting the entire animal. Of the three featured on this page, two have already been sold.
However King David's Horse (left) is still available. This maginficent horse is created out of
Mohagony and sports a sheild on the chest of the horse that shows a scene of David and Golith.
This sheild also pulls out to reveal the dates of when Tom began work on this horse, when it was
finished and how much time it took to paint it.
There are several other special features
on this unique Carousel horse as well.
The handle of the sword is not mearly carved into the
side of the saddle. The hilt is removeable but to
prevent injuries a wooden dowl takes the
place of a steel blade.
And lastly there is a panel in the side of the horse that can
be taken off to reveal a miniture carousel inside the horse itself!
King David's Horse is
available for $20,000. If you love carousel horses or are a collector of one of a kind items,
