"What's that galloping sound," you ask?

One of the newest additions to Gallery 54 is a horse, would you believe. Well, maybe not a horse, but a pony. Okay, not a real pony. Would you believe a rocking horse? Of course, this is Gallery 54 so, "One of the Best Gift Shops in Upstate New York" according to the Syracuse Post Standard so it's not just any rocking horse. It certainly not like you might expect to find in most any other modern-day toy store.

Carefully handcrafted is one thing . . . and it certainly is. But, it is not only carefully, but lovingly handcrafted by Gallery 54 woodworker extraordinaire Fred Weisskopf. This particular rocking horse will make most people harken back to bygone eras when true craftsmanship was the norm.

Fred used cherry, walnut, and birdseye maple to create this one of kind heirloom piece. "No special tools or techniques needed," he says, not mentioning his years of experience that culminated in this work or the 30+ hours he committed to its creation.

You shouldn't expect a piece like this to stay in the gallery very long, so why not stop in today and grab something special for someone special in your life.

Gallery 54 is open Sunday - Thursday from 10 am to 5 pm and Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm.
