Here are two versions of Standing Red Bear. You will have to forgive me for reusing the name twice. I have carved a lot of Native Americans so coming up with original names that add appeal to a piece becomes harder to do over time. The first piece was carved back in the 90’s and…

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!
The Scout
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.
The Scout
Carved in 1998, I can’t say whether he was assigned to the Custer outfit but for his sake I hope he wasn’t. Comments welcome.
Cactus Jack
Carved back in 1997, Cactus Jack is a larger piece that I normally do. I put him out in the wind with the blown hair and feather. I also put him in the IWC show in Iowa where he took a 2nd place ribbon. Comments welcome.
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…
