Default You might wish you were two, too.
One of my hobbies is wood working. Our daughter's twins turn two next weekend. We're heading up to Massachusetts to celebrate. I made them some rocking ponies.

The bodies are maple, the mane & tails are cherry and the saddle is mahogany.

I got the plans in a "Woodcraft" magazine I found at the barbershop. And I didn't even have to steal the magazine - he gave it to me. Oct/Nov 2009 issue, full size patterns available here.

"Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls." - Victor Hugo

They're lovely!

There's going to be an extremely delighted pair of twins, the parents and grandparents at the unveiling.

Good on you for creating such wonderful presents.
