Kenneth's Dala horses succeed on TikTok

Kenneth Johansson, 58, from Hedemora has gained 30,000 TikTok followers with his Dala horses. He began carving while awaiting retirement and hopes the interest will inspire others.

Kenneth Johansson has turned his garage in Hedemora into a workshop. Shelves filled with Dala horses stand there instead of a car. Faint music from a radio plays as he works.

He started carving Dala horses while waiting for retirement. His craft is now followed by 30,000 people on TikTok. Johansson initially thought no one would want to watch an old man carving.
