Coming soon...

The Brian Boggs Shaving Horse will soon be available for purchase.  Look for it sometime in the spring.

Brian experimented with his shaving horse until he found the optimum seat height, seat angle, and elevation and then designed the horse around these criteria. The picture to the right will help you visualize the fine horse that Brian has created.

Call to order: (859) 986-4638

Plans for this shaving horse are also available. Purchase through Lie-Nielsen Toolworks or download from the December 1999 issue of FineWoodworking Magazine.
