The Adirondack Carousel

The Gallery

• The Adirondack Carousel carvers were selected based on their skills, carving sophistication, structural characteristics, and quality of trappings and embellishments after careful review of submitted bios and photos of previous work. Each agreed to select an animal found in the Adirondack Park, to decorate with Adirondack-related articles, flora and fauna (and to include a ladybug somewhere on the animal) following guidelines of traditional construction, sanding and priming. Photos were requested throughout that demonstrated the four stages of carving before final acceptance was determined.
