Hi Strumelia

The children would love him. Limberjacks do rule and go perfect with Dulcimers and Banjos.

yea!

Hi Donato

That's a lot of budweiser. I probably shouldn't stock that much beer in the house. Draft Horse Limberjacks with weighted hooves might make an interesting idea. Maybe drill holes in the feet and fill with a bit of lead or other metal. Hmmm! It does give one ideas.

David that is a great unicorn! I love the weathered white paint and the mop hair.

Here is my horse limberjack, which was already constructed but unpainted wood. I just added a few painted details, to give him a saddle, white face and legs, and a face... and made him look like a palomino:

My palomino looks a bit chunkier and less graceful than your unicorn- maybe he's better built for cow-punching!

Limberjacks rule!

Hi all

I wish I had a video or something of it in action. My wife does a great job of it and is so good working with little children. I hope to get some DVD material of it and our puppet show we play music with. I'm working on a Buffalo limberjack to take on old timey gigs. I've got some brown water based stain and I'm thinking of calling him Buffalo Byron after my Dad. Since Bill and Bob are already taken. I have a clawhammer banjo to play along with that one.

It is a delightful animal isn't it? And a very nice limberjack as well. I love their simplicity and potential for endless imaginative fun. Very cool!

Really nice limberjack. Love unicorns and limberjacks. You did a great job with this one.

That's really cool, David. Strumelia will like that too, she's got a soft spot for limberjacks...

I took a horse pattern and sawed it out then old mop strands for the mane and tail. A little white paint and colored pencil for the eyes and mouth and finally a length of white fiber glass fishing rod for the horn. We take him to our renfaires we work at and let children come and take a turn with him while I play Shepherd's Hey on the Mountain Dulcimer.
