Carousel Works's continuous paintings usually have the same pattern. They are Arctic-Ocean-Australian Outback-Asian Forest-African Plains-South American Rainforest-North American Forest.
I have visited several of your carousels over the years, usually touring with the National Carousel Associations conventions and I must say you do AMAZING work!! I really enjoyed visiting your factory in Mansfield, Ohio! Most Impressive!! Carousels have been my lifelong passion! Keep up the awesome work! My BFF and I loved the Bug carousel at the Bronx zoo! Wonderful work on Nunley's! I'v enjoyed every Carousel Works carousel I have visited. Loved the tech conference at Silver Beach, Michigan! I dream of having a similar carousel built in Oshawa someday with animals designed by visitors at our community art studio! :)
Wow I Love Carousels Amazing Informative Video on how carousels are made, ive loved the horses, & i still go on carousels even at my age, i remember the horses with the real tails it was some kind of hair, as im in the uk, id have to go to an Amusement Park, if i want to ride a carousel now.
Im surprised they're not using a wood cutting machine to make the details of the figures and also a question: if the figures are wood carving then why in the real life they look metal?
Most manufacturers use sand cast aluminum horses or figures while Carousel Works and a few others use wood carved ones. Some manufacturers even use fiberglass replicas of older more extravagant figures from Philadelphia Toboggan Company, Alan Hershall and Dentzel. PTC and Dentzel rank among some of the most beautiful ever created and it looks as though Carousel Works is carrying on that tradition.
I'm looking for a rough cost range for a large model with traditional craftsmanship but "animals" and concept unlike anything previous, so I can organize a GoFundMe. I want to be a customer and have a genius concept but have to raise $$$.
Disney Animal Kingdom needs a carousel . Any ideas ? My idea is a mixed 2 story animal real and mythological . They need to talk to the Disney Imagineers .
