I think the piece turned out quite nice and clearly shows the fun you can have in creating a Native American. Comments welcome.

Yellowstone Charlie – 05/30/2015
Painted this Mountain Man over the weekend and must say that he really turned out nice. I thought he looked a little plain just by himself so added the knife and sheath and that really turned him into something else. Comments welcome.
Starbucks My Patootie! – 5/26/2015
I finally finished this one this morning and it’s been a struggle. Old age has given me a cataract in my right eye which is the one my vision is centered on. Doesn’t bother me that much for distance viewing but up close it’s a real bummer. Trying to do fine detail, especially painting is…
Starbucks My Patootie! – 5/11/2015
Here’s one I just finished this morning. While I’ve done one similar to this before this one is much larger, standing almost 18″ with the base. I plan on a real neat apron design which should really make the carving. Hope you like him. Comments welcome.
Fuzzy – Lash LaRue’s Sidekick
I was ask about Lash LaRue’s sidekick when I posted an entry a few days ago. Where here he is. Played by Al St. John, From IMDB: “ Movie legend has it that the “Fuzzy” nickname occurred during the Fred Scott singing westerns at Spectrum in the 1930s. Apparently the producers were trying to hire Fuzzy Knight, but…
OUT WEST HAPPENINGS! – 04/10/2015
I thought I would add a few other things that are going on around the Out West Gallery and Shop to maybe spice up my carving ramblings. Yep! It’s April and spring is here! You can certainly tell that by the beautiful native Dogwood tree that stands between the Out West shop and Gallery. Our…
The Kansas City Show – 03/16/2015
We had a great time at the show. While the table count for the show was down for the reasons I explained on the “Out West Woodcarving Posse” Facebook page, it was still a success for us. I managed to take Second Best of Show for my newest piece: “Big Bear” which also took First…
Paint!
I’ve been getting lots of questions lately about what type of paint I use and where can they be found. Well, here are my thoughts on the matter!: – Yesterday, the wife and I drove up to Joplin to resupply my paint inventory. Now, like a majority of most carvers who paint their pieces, we…
Big Bear – 02/08/2015
I hoping to get this one done before the Kansas City show. It’s all finished now except for the painting. That bear claw necklace is a real snappy detail which will look great once it’s painted. I plan on threading some beads between the claws but will have to wait until it’s almost completely done…
Red Hawk – 2/22/2015
I had hoped to complete this piece before heading off to the Charlotte, North Carolina Woodcarving show that’s taking place this weekend but as the weather put an end to that it can make it’s debut here. So, I guess before I can start a new piece I’d better head to the barn and look…
