Richard Gerling has been a wood sculptor for over twenty years. He is a retired police officer and a Korean War navy vet.  His first large eagles were "roughed out" using a full size chain saw and then hand-carved and finished.  These would be particularly impressive in a large executive office, or in a large den or library.

Since then, he has focused on rocking horses . A wooden rocking horse is perfect for creative play by children. They are a traditional first birthday gift and are wonderful for Christmas. These unique rocking-horses, in glowing natural wood, are also appropriate for collectors .  They are uniquely American, with a liveliness not seen in a Victorian style rocking horse.  Each  wood rocking horse is slightly different and the choice of woods and stain can make a big difference in appearance.  Please click on  rocking horses to see photos and details on ordering.
