A friend & I found this amazing place by walking a path less traveled. It is the Chaffin Carousel Carving School. “one of only Two Carousel Carving School in Country” I met the artist & asked him if I may return with my camera (I took these with my iPhone), he said I could. www.chaffincarouselcarvingschool.com for real information. Located in downtown Birmingham, Alabama.

It was very neat to see the process of how a carousel becomes a carousel. I could have stayed for hours. ~amy
