Originally published on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Several years ago I thought I’d have one of my pieces cast in bronze to see whether the wood medium would transfer over to bronze. For those of you unfamiliar with the bronze process here is a link that will fully explain just what is involved. One of…

Originally published on Saturday, August, 30, 2008 This is a little carving I did off of that famous photo of Billy. The only change I made was to place his rifle in his hand instead of having him holding by the tip of the barrel with the butt on the ground. I like the way…

Well, once more I’ve been remiss in posting the video episodes of this project as their finished.  Sorry!  So here is the link to my Youtube page where you can find the complete series:   https://www.youtube.com/user/lodoughty With the arrival of spring on the ranch, the chores have multiplied considerably and things have been pretty hectic around…

Here is a selection of Bottle Stoppers I did back in 2008.  Hope you like them.  They are fun to do.  Comments welcome. 

Published June 9, 2008 I was watching some silent movies the other night and one titled “In Old San Francisco” had a bunch of Chinese characters in it and I made this quick sketch of one. I thought it would make a great caricature carving or maybe a bottle stopper thats a little different than…

Originally published on Monday, June 09, 2008 Wow!  Thats all I can say about this fella. He really turned out nice. He did have to make a detour to the Optometrist this afternoon to get a new set of glasses before his departue for Cuba but he left ready for battle.  I hope you like…
