Originally published in 2012 Well, I put his watch in his vest pocket so he’s ready for his debut! I really like this one. As I mentioned earlier, he’s about 16″ tall without the base so you can’t miss him. Also, using an old style shirt front instead of the usual neckerchief really takes him…

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!
“Any Complaints?” – Part 2
Originally published in 2012 Better not say nothing bad about his biscuits! This Cook is packin’! This was a fun figure to carve. Being larger than normal I could spend a little more time on the details so I fitted him out with a revolver and a meat knife and cleaver. I also gave…
“Any Complaints?”
Here is the head for one I’m now working on. He will be a Chuck Wagon cook not to open to any negative comments about his cooking. He’s also a little over sized than normal, standing about 16 inches all without the base. I want to do some that will stand up to being placed on a…
Windy – Finished!
Here he is …. fresh off the paint table. I went a little farther on the paint job being as he’s headed for a museum exhibit. Hopefully, you will note an improvement in my carvings, the painting and their overall presentation on future pieces as I think now is the time to really stretch myself…
Windy
Originally published in 2012 Here’s a bust I put the finishing touches on today. Looks like he’s going to be a colorful one…lots of bead work to paint. Next to Native Americans I love doing these Mountain Men as, like the other, there is so much detail available and so much paint to apply if…
The Man With No Name – Finished!
Originally published in 2012 Wow! I’m sure I wouldn’t want to meet this hombre out in front of the Saloon. He looks a little P.O.’d! This was really a fun figure to do and as you can see from the photo. He’s also pretty impressive….standing about 16′ tall. I like him! I…
The Man With No Name
I’ve always wanted to do a carving of the character played by Clint Eastwood in all those Italian movies so here’s my first attempt. Hopefully, I captured that sneer that really makes the character and I confess I had a little help from the movie Rango where this figure made a brief appearance. There will…
The Coal Miner
This post will close out the Coal Miner project. Needless to say, I’m sorry we couldn’t flesh him out like I had originally hoped but even without the addition of a coal cart I think he looks pretty snappy. One thing for sure…..he needs to spend a few minutes, maybe an hour, in the shower….
Half Breed – Finished
Wrapped this one up yesterday. Had my doubts about him but he turned out pretty good after all. Tried a little darker complexion by adding some brown to the flesh mixture. I like it. Comments welcome.
Half-Breed
Originally published in December 2012 First, let us thank you for all your good wishes over this season. That was kind of you. Thanks. Now for a little history about this fella. Since we’ve been going to Woolaroc Museum for our exhibit each week for the past month, and since they have the largest collection…
