The Skinner – Part 3 – Finishing Up!

The Skinner – Part 3 – Finishing Up!

Just a few words to wrap up this project….I think we accomplished what we set out to do, i.e., produce a carving of a wiry character from the old west.  I hope you agree.  As always, comments are welcome.  Now, on to the next project.

    Another masterpiece! I watch your videos from start to finish and enjoy every minute. I think you should make a vid showing the painting of the cook next. Btw..spiffy shoes ! 🙂

      I second the notion of a paint video on the cook. You have such a unique style and what you are creating is truely inspirational.

    Great video Lynn, thank you for the painting lesson. Very good tips.

  8. Charlie Rasmussen says:

    The Skinner came out terrific. Really like the dark tones contrasting with the beaded hat band and feather. Please video when you paint the chuck wagon cook. Thanks to you both for sharing your art and expertise.

  9. Tom Simmons says:

    I really look forward to your carvings and have enjoyed countless hours watching. If you do a video on painting the cook next, could you show or describe how you get the very small details and words on the aprons like you have done on previous cravings.

  10. Wes Kuehnle says:

    Love your carvings and how well you describe how and why you do go through each step. I think I’ve watched all your videos at least 2x. I have to admit, I was concerned about you since you haven’t posted anything in a while. Anyway, good to see you and Judy back at it. Keep them coming!!
    All the best!

    This project was great as always. Regarding the camp cook, it would be great to have a video of painting him as there will be a lot of detail to see how you do that.
    Thanks for the great videos.

    I try to watch all of your videos. I learn so much. I consider you the master carving painter so if you find it within you, please share a video of carving the camp cook. I think it will add the level of difficulty that will be very helpful to follow.

  13. Sharon says:

    Really love the finished look of The Skinner! I agree with you … your shoes do look spiffy with the “new” polish. 😀 Mmmmmmm a breakfast biscuits and gravy is wonderful. Yummy Good!
    Yes, I would really like to see a video of you painting your new Chuckwagon Cook carving.
    A couple of years ago I watched your video on how to carve the coffee pot and it would be really good to see one sometime on how you carve the pot of beans.

    Masterpiece…but we have come to expect nothing less from you and Judy…curious why didn’t you coat the feather with polyurethane or did you do that off camera and don’t you think a lighter base would have enabled people to see the great colors in the neckerchief better. Yes…yes and yes another video please, I could watch you polish your shoes and learn something, sorry Judy more camera work ahead….thank you both for sharing!!!
