Nine production steps:

1. A plank of pine is planed and marked/ stencilled with the outline of a horse.

2. Contour-sawing in the first band saw

3. Profile sawing in the second band saw. Sawing by free had, forming of a head, legs and stomach. The horse is now called a workpiece.

4. Woodcarving with a knife

5. Dipping in water based paint (first coat)

6. Puttying and polishing

7. Final dipping in the first coat colour.

8. Oil painting in the kurbits style

9. Dipping in clear laquer. When the oil paint has dried after about two days, the horse is dipped in a clear varnish to protect the design and to give it a finish.
