3 Little Beavers!
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…
Spotted Deer and Little Wolf
Here is another pretty lady with her little warrior. Carved back in the 90’s, I can’t remember if this was the first time I added a Papoose to a figure. I do know it was quite easy to make one. I originally did this particular figure back in 1998 so the one shown was probably…
Laughing Waters Robe @ Princess Redbird
Two young ladies wearing their Pow Wow Best. Comments welcome.
“Darn, I Dropped The Remote!”
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…
Finishing My Carving!
Over on the Caricature Carvers Face Book page, a carver ask the question that has been asked at least a thousand times on the best way to apply a finish to their carving. In case you don’t know my thoughts on the matter, here is my response to that question along with some added advice…
Carving A Cowboy’s Horse
Yesterday, I received a call asking “Where’s the pattern for that horse!” Of all the inquiries I receive, and I get a lot of them, that question is the one that tops the list. After about 30 minutes I was finally able to guide them to a place where they could obtain that pattern and…
The Okie Kid
Here’s one I just finished yesterday. This is the first full bodied Cowboy I’ve managed to complete since last year and a few months further back from that point. I won’t belabor the reasons other than to mention a heart operation and a new home. We gave up country living and moved into town. The…
Montana Pete
Believe it or not….I actually finished a new carving!! The story behind this one came about during a discussion about Cowboy hats at our Tuesday carving meeting. I’ve always liked the Montana Peak style which was popular in the Old West and has since been adopted by many Highway Patrols and the Boy Scouts….
Looking Back!
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…
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…
