Dala Horse Problem Solver

Here's a design idea for those times when a strong grain or stains in the wood wouldn't allow you to get an even basecoat to paint your horse in the traditional style.

The design on this one is painted with liquid acrylics and finished with several coats of a spray polyurethane finish. Both the paints and the polyurethane were in a satin finish which seems to work best for a project like this...and photographs better as well.

I like this combination view best.
