The Fort Edmonton Carousel is divided into 12 sections, each will have a rounding board section. The rounding boards of the original PTC #40 were heavily carved and contained a panel portraying a European-type pastoral landscape, painted in oils in a highly romantic style.
The scenery panels within each rounding board section will depict an early Edmonton scene. Potential scenes include: the fur trade, early settlement, the coming of the railroad, etc. The back of each rounding board will be stencilled for greater artistic enjoyment.
After producing the prototype, Ron Critchlow has recruited the very capable crew of Peter Hlus and Owen Jones to help him produce the remaining 11 boards. Dave Antoniuk took up the challenge of carving the decorative medallion at the peak of the board - we cast 12 copies of the medallion. Don Reimer undertook the daunting task of routering the over 120 denticulation pieces (the "teeth" at the bottom of the board).
