All Hat, No cattle!

Originally published on October 24, 2014 The title might be familiar but the character is new. Not much to say about this one other than I did a little different application of the neckerchief. The busts I’m doing now are a bit larger than most…standing about 11″ tall with the base. I think they make…

Dayton Demo

Originally posted on October 10, 2014 Last year I was ask by the Dayton Woodcarving group if I would do another demonstration. I had done one years ago on carving a horse that was received pretty well so I agreed to do another. As I’m continually asked about painting I thought a good subject of…

Originally published on October 26, 2014 – Here’s my contribution to the “Silent Auction” portion of the Artistry in Wood show in Dayton, Ohio beginning on November 8.  The Dayton group use this event to raise money for their charities and group.  This years theme was characters related to a Circus.   My first thought…

“You’ve Got To Be Kidding!”

Originally publlished on October 24, 2014 -Well, here it is.  This piece has been occupying my time for the past couple of months.  Not that it took me that long to complete.  Doing some of these projects gets me so involved with details that the entire project grinds to a halt while I try to…

Bright Feather

Originally published on October 24, 2014 – First, my apologies to Mr. David Lemon for using his sculpture “Sweet Grass” as a reference for this figure. About two years ago Judy and I made a trip to Ennis, Montana to meet David and to pick up “Sweet Grass”, our first Bronze. As you can see…

Where’s The Beef? – Finished!

Originally published on October 10, 2014- Okay….Here are the final photos of the finished piece. I think it turned out pretty well. Can’t really see where I could have made it better. Of course things will start to show up the longer I look at it so I hope it leaves the inventory soon.  Like…

Where’s The Beef?

Originally published on August 26, 2014 – Here’s my latest.  Seems this poor fella was getting ready to sink his choppers into that big T-bone only to end up with Beans and Biscuits!  This one stands about 10-12 Inches tall with the walnut base.  Ought to be pretty neat once it’s painted.  I still have…

Yellow Hawk

Originally published on August 23, 2014 Here’s a small one, standing about 10″ with the base.  Just a quickie but I thought I’d show it off.  Really bright colors and I might darken up his skin tones a bit.  No more photos but your comments are always welcome.

He Looks Like A Good One!

Originally published on August 23, 2014 I finished this one last week so I guess it’s time I put him up for inspection.  He’s a good sized piece…standing about 22″ tall with the base.  I really like the coloring.  That blue shirt shows lots of use which is as it should be.  The same goes…

Apache – All Done!

Originally published on August 2, 2014 Finished up the final detailing on this guy.  Turned out pretty well but sure was a lot of painting!  Hope you like him.  More photos in the Gallery and comments always welcome.   Hay!  Todays my Birthday!!
