At last a Cowboy! Brrrrr! I don’t envy this Buckaroo, having to face a day in the saddle checking the fence lines. Hopefully he had a good breakfast and is wearing his woolies cause it’s cold out there. That’s a stogie in his mouth. He should know better! This one also stands about 12″ tall…

The Generals Coat – December 6, 2017
Here’s one I finished a couple of weeks ago. Lots of color! He stands about 12″ tall with the walnut base. Hope you like him. Comments welcome.
Little Crow – October 8, 2017
I tried something a little different with this one by setting it off center so he would be looking over his shoulder. His smug look really adds a lot of interest by making you wonder just what he’s so self-righteous about. With the colors of the shield, shirt, and knife it’s really a bright piece…
Old Man of the Sage – September, 27, 2017
Here’s a new one. Seems I’m getting more realistic with each new one I complete. Not to worry though….the next one will be back in the caricature mode. The Hudson Bay blanket really sets this one off. I left the main color of the cloth natural with only some light shading for some shadow effects. …
Any Complaints – Part 2 – April 22, 2017
As I mentioned before, this is a smaller version of the one I did earlier. He stands about 10-11″ tall compared to the original which came in at around 16″. While it’s the same basic pose, the figure is different as is the apron design. I try to keep everything original if possible and for…
Any Complaints? II – April 9, 2017
It’s been quite a while since I did a Chuckwagon Cook so I thought I would do another of this character but on a smaller scale. As I mentioned earlier, I’m getting over a bad case of artist block so I guess you could say I’m easing back into it. This Cookie stands about 12″…
White Antelope – September 18, 2017
First, I’ve changed his name. I was originally planning to add a dusting of snow to the figure but it looked so good once painted I decided to leave it snow-free. I hope you approve of my decision. Comments always welcome.
Montana Bound – Part 2 – September 18, 2017
I forgot to post the piece once it was painted so here it is. I think it really turned out nice and will make a nice addition to someone’s collection. Funny…looking at it I actually feel a little sympathy for him as he’s not aware of white lies ahead. I hope you like him…
White Antelope – September 10, 2017 – Part 1
Here’s my latest, just off the table this morning. To reflect the title he will have just a light dusting of snow. I copied the base idea off of some bronze busts done by Dave McGary. As the anchor for the carving is off center this type of base does it in a real clever…
Montana Bound – Part 1 – August 16, 2017
I finished carving this one this morning. As you can see from the earlier post Blowing in the Wind, there have been some major changes. I decided to make the figure Custer and title it to reflect his jaunty attitude on his way to the Little Big Horn, not knowing what waits for him there….
