Doing The Texas Skip!

Doing The Texas Skip!

Friday, April, 2008

This is a figure I’ve been working on for quite a while. I first got the idea up at the Kansas City Woodcarving show. It portrays a cowboy spinning his rope. The Texas Skip is the action of spinning the rope parallel with the body and jumping or skipping through it as you move it back and forth. It’s a fairly difficult move and I have yet to accomplish it. One of these days though I will do it.

I’ve got the rope made but will not put it with the figure until the piece is painted. It ought to look pretty impressive once that rope is suspended and spinning.

    The figure shows a date of 2008 so it’s now 2023 my question is are you just now finishing it?
    If finished is there an updated photo?
