Originally published on August 26, 2008 Here is a carving I did back in 1974 that I’ve always been proud of. You might recognize the pose if you’re familiar with Frederic Remington’s work. It’s from an oil painting titled “Stampede by Lightening” which hangs at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa. I did a copy of…

Tequila Sunrise – Part 2
Originally published on August 6, 2008 Just how that poor fella can sleep with those two around is beyond me!!! You might remember these two smiling faces from my post some time back on making a paper manikin. Well….they’re back! That’s Hannah with an “H” on the left and Miriam with an “M” on the…
Tequila Sunrise
I’ve been having so much fun with the Mexican theme I thought I’d do one more but try a complete figure this time. I have done this little scene a couple times before but have always used a Cowboy as the character. While it’s basically the same thing the addition of the sombrero completely changes…
The Patriot
Originally published on Friday, July 18, 2008 I thought I had posted this carving earlier but after checking I found I haven’t. I did this a couple years ago for the Daughter’s of the American Revolution. It was raffled off at the end of the conference year. I think it was one of the best…
A Trip To Woolaroc!
With this post I thought we’d bring you along to a recent trip to Woolaroc Museum in northeasern Oklahoma.

It’s quite a thrill to see my carvings setting along side such artists as Remington, Russell, Beeler, Moran, and numerous…
Bottle Stoppers!
Here is a selection of Bottle Stoppers I did back in 2008. Hope you like them. They are fun to do. Comments welcome.
Chung Lee – Parts 1, 2, and 3
Part 1: This post will cover the carving of the head. You’ll note that I have not included his mustache, his beard or his Que. We’ll add them in the next post. The reason I’m doing it this way is that they will be somewhat fragile and if we carved them from the original block…
Chung Lee
Published June 9, 2008 I was watching some silent movies the other night and one titled “In Old San Francisco” had a bunch of Chinese characters in it and I made this quick sketch of one. I thought it would make a great caricature carving or maybe a bottle stopper thats a little different than…
