We have a full woodworking shop capable of doing cabinet work, mill work, pattern work, and accurate duplication of any part. In this shop we do all our own woodworking for each carousel, the parts we build in here are everything from the necessary millwork, the vaulted ceilings and the center surround panels, the facades, the floors and decks. Here we also do the blocking up of the carousel figures, head and body, and the chariots being careful to correctly orient the grain of the wood in both the new projects and in the restoration of original pieces.
With our skilled craftsmen, we can custom design and carve the fancy decorative elements on the carousels from the ornate facades including band organs, chariots, horses, menagerie animals, corbels, to the light bars. The band organ facade traditionally is the most elaborate carving on a carousel. We carve intricate band organs to match the style and theme of a particular carousel. Also, we have carved band organs for new machines, as well as replacements on old machines, and have restored old band organ facades for individual collectors of band organs.
