A horse of course

We recently repaired a fully size horse made out of solid Mahogany wood.  The horse, which lives in a customers house, tried to go for a swim when the house flooded.  Being held together by glue and all didn't work out so good.  The horse is constructed of several blocks of wood that are carved after they are all glued together in the rough form.  During the flood, water was able to get between the blocks of wood and cause them to separate.  When we picked up the horse, the head and legs were loose from the body.  Below are some of our work in process picture.
