Guilty as charged!  Yes….I have been shirking my duties of posting updates to this Blog.  Unfortunately, try as I might, I just can’t seem to find the time to set down and type something out.  With the post before this one of Sacajawea, I finally made it through the pre-digital photos of carvings.  I’m don’t…

Sacagawea was carved back in 1998.  She was part of a 3 figure group including Lewis and Clark which was my first commission.  It was called “Pointing the Way!”  Actually, it was a 4 figure group when including the young boy Pompey, wrapped in his papoose and strapped to her back.  Knowing the history of…

The late 90’s seems to be banner years for my carving of Native Americans.  I guess after concentrating on Cowboys for so long this new challenge was a welcome one.  Iron Eyes, who bares no relationship with the fake redskin that was shedding tears in promoting saving the forests at the time, is a great…

Here’s another one.  This fella seems to be in a much better mood than the other.  Also carved back in the mid-70’s when the wood was soft, the knife was sharp and the ideas flowing. Comments welcome.

Over the years I’ve done quite a number of these little warriors.  One even made it into a national museum at Woolaroc.  A  So…..Here are 3 Little Beavers along with the patterns I used to create them.  The side profile is less than 2″  and the front is just over that a bit.  The head…

I’ve carved a lot of what I consider Classic carvings over the years and this one is one of those.  I say Classic because I think it captures the best of my carving and also displays a great example of what some might say is my twisted attempt at humor.  Looking at that carving of…

Another colorful piece.  Same pose…different Indian!  You will see a lot like that.  But each piece will still be unique.  That’s important to me.  Comments welcome.

A lot of these characters, Indians or Cowboys, were created before I started my first Google Blogspot site back in 2006.  Just the photos I took at the time.  I think I did post to the old Woodcarving Illustrated blog back then but that was lost long ago when they changed to the one they…
