Here’s a new one. If you think you’re seeing spots its because there are lots of them! He stands about 11″ tall with the walnut base. Hope you like him.
Month: October 2024
Yay! Yipee! Hooray!
This weekend the fiber optic installation crew finally showed up to complete one of the last steps toward our installation. That little black box up there on our power pole is the line coming in. The last step in the process is to have it run from the pole into the house which should happen…
Big Horn Bill – Part 2 – June 13, 2017
I think I’m going to need an eye exam after this one. Boy! Small details and old eyes make painting a difficult job! In the end though he turned out pretty good. The colors are bright and balanced and everything seems to work. So, now it’s off to the next project while we still wait…
Big Horn Bill – Part 1 – June 5, 2017
With the easy part of the painting applied and the shirts, hat and knife sheaf beading areas primed, it’s time to start doing some research on the type of beaded patterns to use. The areas might appear a little stark in the photo but the end result will be balanced by choosing colors that will…
The Big Project – Part 3 – March 19, 2017
Judy and I had the opportunity to return to Woolaroc Museum the other day to see how the Chuckwagon installation was progressing. WOW! Looking Good! There is still some work to be done to the front of the display as they had originally planned on doing display cases there that would have contained artifacts associated…
The Big Project – Part 2 – February 22, 2017
It took a lot of hard work by a lot of people but the Chuckwagon is finally in it’s new home at the Woolaroc Museum. All that’s left now is to turn that empty corner in the Museum into a fleshed out piece of the Old West. In just a month or so visitors will…
The Big Project – Part 1 – January 22, 2017
As I mentioned in the last post, we’re working on a Big Project that will come together toward the end or middle of February. As part of that I had to build a new display stand, which for an amateur furniture maker, is no mean feat. But, with Judy as my trusty assistant, we managed to…
Quint – January 4, 2017
Happy New Year! Well, not only did Quint get a coat of paint he also got a new name. I’ll admit I took a little liberty with the name as E.C. “Teddy Blue” Abbott was a good friend and rode with painter Charles Russell and wrote the book “We Pointed Them North”, about the…
Spotted Elk – December 8, 2016
Here’s another that’s been setting on the bench for quite a while. Except for the completion of the lance and the addition of some feathers he’s complete. Unfortunately, him and Quint seem to have developed an attachment and just can’t bring themselves to migrate over to the paint area. This one also stands around 12″…
Quint- December 8, 2016
I might have posted a photo of this piece on Face Book but, as he’s still setting on the work bench in his raw state maybe posting it here will get me out of my rut and get him painted. He measures around 10-12 inches with the base and once painted should really be a…
