ok not quite done we are still trying to better his neck (make it ticker , more 3d or more curvier wich is not easy with wood) and i need to give some black paint shadow effect to make it more spooky

but you get a good idea of the horse ...i told my husband to get in the pic with his creation for once

Witch - that is so cool. You already prob. know that I LOVE your set-up, and of course I stole a few of your ideas and modified them to fit my Tombstone theme this year. Now, of course, I need a horse for my buck-wagon! Did your DH use a pattern? I'm gonna have to show my DH this and tell him he's slacking. BTW, where did you get the skull? Thanks for sharing the pics and post more anytime 'cause I think your stuff rocks!

hey there , i tried and do the horse similar to the one evilbob did few years ago (thanks evilbob for all the tips ) .

we used a projector and a skeleton horse drawing to get the correct size and shape of the bones to cut with the jigsaw (we used pine planks for th legs, plywood and a 2x4 , and the neck so far is cut in a 2x6 , his rib cage his a garbage can that was cut out , his stakes are tree tutors , the head is a real horse skull i got in ebay , he was missing the front teeth so i did some with crayola model magic clay .

i still need to figure out how to make the neck look better fitted but we are pretty happy with the end result ....
