“A number of you have asked me when am I ever going to finish the Cowboy on the Horse project. Well, to be honest I really can’t tell you as I have so many other things going on a the moment. So, to help you out as much as I can here are some photos of the inside of a cowboys legs while setting on a horse. Anything above the carved area will be hidden when the cowboy is placed in the saddle. If you check the photo of below of “The Boss” you can see how this looks when he’s in place. Once the legs are done I then carve the upper part of the body.

When fitting the body to the saddle you will no doubt also have to remove material from the saddle. The important thing is that the body should fit into the saddle naturally so it looks like a single piece.
Hope this helps you out! Comments welcome.
