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…

Pistol Pete – September 15, 2016
Here’s Pistol Pete, the Oklahoma State University Cowboys mascot! While he doesn’t look much like the actual historical figure he does instill a small amount of fear in the opposing team. Go Pokes!
Dayton 2016 Woodcarving Show Report – September 08, 2016
Well, we had some doubt about the show considering it’s move to Wilmington, OH and the change in dates, however, for us at least, things worked out better than expected. I managed to Ace the competition events I entered and our sales were better than any previous show. Granted, attendance was down a bit and…
The Breed – August 30, 2016
This will be my “Silent Auction” piece for the Dayton Woodcarving Show coming up this weekend. With the walnut base it’s about 11″ tall. He’s off the reservation and cooling his moccasins somewhere on the beach from the reflection on his glasses. I’ve always wanted to do a good pair of mirrored sunglasses and I…
Big Bear – Part 2 – August 22, 2016
Here’s the last one I’ll be able to finish before the trip to Ohio for the 2016 Dayton Ohio Artistry in Wood show. Big Bear stands at just under 18″ with the oak base so he’s a pretty impressive Drummer heading off to the big Pow Wow. I did a lot of paint mixing…
Big Bear – Part 1 -August 15, 2016
Here’s a new one I just finished carving Friday. Hopefully, I can get him finished up before the show in Ohio next month. With the base he stands approximately 18″ and is quite an impressive piece, especially once he’s got some color to him. I’m sure the main feature on him will be the drum….
Buffalo Girl -Part 3 – July 30, 2016
All done and she turned out great. I was kind of bleary eyed painting all the beading but it really sets off the piece as does the Buffalo skull. I decided not to paint the upper part of the dress the darker color as it would have detracted from the overall piece. I…
Buffalo Girl- Part 2 – July 24, 2016
Spent the morning painting the Buffalo Skull for my new piece. Looks pretty good although the photo really doesn’t show all the colors used. Before starting I checked the skull hanging in the Out West Gallery next door, to make sure I indicated all the major skull details, i.e., plates, nerve holes, etc. As that…
Buffalo Girl – July 23, 2016 – Part 1
I’ve been working on this one for the past 6 or 7 months. Once it’s painted I think it will be one of the best so far even though, after taking the photos, I noticed a couple areas that need to be corrected. With the walnut base she will stand about 20″ tall. An impressive…
Wandering Bull – Part 3 – July 8, 2016
He’s finished!! I thought I’d never get this one off the work table. I think he turned out pretty good. Certainly a colorful one. I repainted the eyebrows black to try and recapture the stern look on his face that was lost when I painted on the red facial decorations. It didn’t work completely…
