I’m still trying to figure out this new Blog format they’ve stuck me with. So while I do that I thought maybe I would jump in the Wayback machine and pull up some photos of carvings you might not have seen. So let’s start with this one. I titled this piece “Global Warming”! Pretty easy…

I might be a little man in a big world but on our 30 acres I'm the one in charge when the wife's not around!
Just Testing!
This is a carving I did a while back. I’m posting this to see just what changes my website have made over the previous options I used since starting this site years ago. Why they changed everything is beyond me considering it seemed to work so well…at least for me. Hopefully, I can figure out…
Finally!
Please Bear with me as I and the Tech behind the curtain try to iron out some problems to get this site up and running as it should.
Suffering From A Hitch In My Giddy-Up!
Yes…I know! It’s been almost 2 months since my last post. But Judy and I have been up against several events in our lives that have resulted in major changes in our lives. Back in November I had a heart operation to correct a condition caused by AFIB. Prior to that I felt a lot…
Woolaroc Gets A Dental Checkkup!
The Woolaroc Museum in Oklahoma has acquired and just put on display my Dentist scene, “Getting To The Root Of The Problem”? It will join The Stagecoach, Chuckwagon, Saloon, Medicine Show and Frank Phillips carvings to become part of their permanent collection. Talk about proud! I did this piece many years ago as a Christmas…
SCALAWAG!
Here’s my latest creation. While he turned out great with lots of character and paint, I spent quite some time trying to come up with a name for this scoundrel, but reflecting back on his actions at the last rendezvous, Scalawag seems to be a perfect fit. Some of the other words that I picked…
Charlie Red Hawk
Who says carvings of Native Americans are always frowning? Charlie Red Hawk ought to help put those thoughts to rest. He’s a good natured fella on his way to the Ottawa Stomp Dance being help at the new dance grounds outside of Wyandotte, OK. The old grounds are being replaced by another Casino. Maybe that’s…
A Project for Beginners – Cowboy Boots
Lately, I’ve received quite a few questions on “Where can I find a project for beginners?” Well, here’s a great one that incorporates just about every challenge a beginning carving will face. There are 8 separate videos beginning with how to make a base to display your finished carving. You can skip making the base…
Bookends!
Now here’s a couple pieces I did back in the 70’s? Not really sure when but I know it’s an old one. The only problem with it was that the wood used was so light that it wouldn’t hold the books upright. Not much I can do about that. Anyway, I think it’s a neat…
Indian Bottle Stopper
I’ve had this warrior’s head setting on my workbench for the past year gathering dust. So….What to do when unused body parts start to pile up? BOTTLE STOPPER!! Yep! That’s a quick way to thin out the timber. Now…he ain’t much but he’s now something, and that’s a lot more than he used to be….
