Chester Polished
Wood Rocking Horse
The Chester rocking horse illustrated
above is presented in gorgeous polished walnut.
We favour walnut, even for our painted Chester dapple grey rocking horses, because it combines a unique series of virtues: It combines a lovely grain, a sumptuous polished finish
and peerless strength and stability.
This combination is desirable, and indeed necessary in a rocking horse, as the traditional way in which the horse is made puts a great deal of stress and strain on the timber when the horse goes into active service.
Rocking horses made from less stable wood are prone to movement in today's centrally-heated homes.
The gorgeous appearance of the polished appearance is achieved by extensive and repeated sanding of the carved horse. There are no shortcuts to remarkably high standard of craftsmanship!
