About the Author
Margaret Spencer was taught how to use tools by her father and learnt how to make patterns by her mother. She set up a business making, restoring and supplying accessories for rocking horses. Margaret has made some five hundred horses over the past thirty years - now retired she leaves her own daughter to run the business.
From Library Journal
Spencer, who has retired after making approximately 500 rocking horses, offers an excellent guide that shows how to make eight different designs, ranging from a small plywood horse to much larger, more ornate styles that rival carousel horses in complexity (including a two-headed horse that accommodates two riders and reminds one of Dr. Doolittle). A section on making saddles and manes provides the finishing touches that add realism. The measurements are metric, and the source list offers only British information, but this is not a huge problem for such a great book. Combining woodworking, carving, and leather craft, this will appeal to most woodworkers. Recommended for all public libraries.
