I can’t remember exactly when I made this scene other than it was quite some time ago.  I see it every time I enter the Out West Gallery and the thought that first comes to my mind about it is “Boy! That Bull needs some major surgery!”  Well, one of these days he’s going to…

Here’s another early one…same base but the figure is a little more fleshed out.  He’s packin’, i.e., there’s a pistol strapped to his belt.  And check out his calf skin vest! Classy!  And that lip foliage will really get the ladies talking down at the local watering trough!  While he might look a little to…

This young wrangler is from back in 1999 from the date on the back.  I’m still developing my personal style.  I call it  my “Closed Eyes” period.  I would eventually open them but not quite yet.  I was also using my horseshoe base design…a real shoe nailed down to a piece of oak.  Overall, a…

I think this is one of my best figures with some excellent details.  What’s a Cowboy without his Saddle or his horses bit, headstall and reins?  Out of a job, that’s what!  I spent a lot of time to make sure I got the details of each item in his rig as accurate as possible. …

Well, that guy certainly has the right idea this morning. Lucky guy!   It’s 16 below freezing outside and I’m setting here waiting for the furnace to start up.  My Grandparents had a pot-bellied stove just like that one which they moved back into the house each winter once the mercury started to drop. Many a…

Another Chuckwagon Cook?  Yes, you’re going to see a lot of these biscuit wranglers.  It was a very popular figure and scene at Cowboy events and shows we’ve attended over the years.  That’s one reason I’ve always tried to make each one just a little different to make it that much more appealing to a…

Sorry for the delay in posting but it’s been really cold around the place and my old bones get kinda creaky running around keeping water pipes from freezing, hauling wood up to the cabin, and building fires in the fireplace to keep warm.  Unfortunately, as the weather isn’t scheduled to change for while things might…

Years ago, I was asked by The Rodeo Association of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame if I would donate a piece for their yearly meeting and auction.  Sure!  So I created this unfortunate Bronc Rider to help them raise funds for their projects.  As a result, Judy and I were invited to attend their…

Here’s a Rodeo Saddle Bronc rider.  You can tell by the missing saddle horn, the short reins, the number on his back and the busted teeth and head bandage.  Not the safest sport.  I know how he feels as I’ve been bucked off our horses a couple of times resulting in two broken wrists.  Not…
