Restoring a Carousel Horse

These photos show the restoration of this carousel horse. To assess a project’s worth, all rot has to be removed from the damaged parts. If parts of the horse are not useable, Glenn has to research books and photos to create new parts. Since this piece had been designated for the firewood pile, Glenn’s expertise in wood sculptor created a beautiful finished piece.

The antique value of an old Carousel Animal is much higher than a new piece. An original carousel animal can be valued as much as $50,000.
