Not to worry Todd...

>...Robin and Company are selling the "plans," not the completed horsie. From my perspective, I suppose it'd look okay if'n it was left out in the rain for a season or two to take on a bit more character.

The cover

>I like the shave horse that's on the cover of the catalog better than the one they're selling plans for. I was in the workshop last night measuring some lumber to build it this weekend.

I also was thinking about making it look a bit old and used, like me. Maybe torch the wood and finish with BLO.

>I had no idea what you were talking about until I got the catalog in yesterday's mail. Yep, the one on the cover looks better; with a heavier dumbhead too. LV has a hellofa marketing department, eh? Every time I get a new catalog, I am compelled to look through it trying to find something to buy.

Cheers,

Mike
