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

Carving A Chuckwagon Cook Bust – Part 1
Ok! Here we go with a NEW video project. I know it’s been quite sometime since Judy and I sat down and opened up the Out West Gallery video production office so it’s going to take a little bit of effort to get things oiled up to where they were before. This is going to…
Out West Blog Test Video
https://youtu.be/EZI6-iQeTkQ It’s been so long since I posted a video to the blog I thought I’d better see if I still know how! I hope you like this short one of past projects. Comments welcome.
Buffalo Runs Him
Here’s the latest! Finished at last! It’s taken quite a while to get this piece wrapped up but now he’s done and ready to saddle up and head out to the nearest Buffalo herd to stock up for the coming winter. As I’ve done many times before, the earrings are made from hammered metal ducting,…
