I bought this hand carved horse at an estate sale. The base of the statue is hand signed and dated 1986. The wood main base is from the legs of a live edge table; wife didn't like the legs so I replaced them with pipe. They matched the statue and here they are today. I made the lance from a bamboo scewer. One end I machined from a piece of brass and the spear end was an exacto knife blade that I also reconfigured.

I don't suppose it's for sale...is it?
Truth is, I sell wood creations at gunshows sometimes. I made this intending to sell it but it came out so well I have taken a shining to it. I am already on the prowl for another horse to make a better one.

I find the 'Colt" logo a bit incongruous in relation to it.
This is exactly why I threw this onto the forum. I had not considered using an older style Colt font and I like your thoughts on this. I spent a good two hours looking at older fonts after seeing your comment.

Also, the Colt looks a little 3D because I burned the logo into the wood with my laser. The wood leg itself is pretty old and reacted fairly strongly to the laser.

Here is another view of the Rampant Colt statue. These are two Colt stands I made. The SAA stand is for a cavalry model but since I found the artillery model first I quit looking...
