Finished this one up yesterday and it turned out really nice. I forgot to measure it but it’s around 10-12 inches tall with the base. I was fortunate enough to sell it before it was even painted so I hope the collector likes the color version. The Duke will take up residence soon in south…

John Wayne – The Duke
I finished the carving yesterday and made the base this morning. I think he turned out really nice and should make a nice addition to someone’s collection. I made the hat cord out of some twisted wire and then carved the knots at the end. I made the badge out of a piece of…
The Duke – 06/27/2015
Well, it’s been a while but I finally got back to doing something. My Sister visited over the Memorial Day weekend and on her way spent some time up in Winterset, Iowa attending the grand opening of the new John Wayne Museum (http://johnwaynebirthplace.museum/). She brought along a bunch of brochures, etc., that she picked up…
Black Crow – Finished!
I think the piece turned out quite nice and clearly shows the fun you can have in creating a Native American. Comments welcome.
Yellowstone Charlie – 05/30/2015
Painted this Mountain Man over the weekend and must say that he really turned out nice. I thought he looked a little plain just by himself so added the knife and sheath and that really turned him into something else. Comments welcome.
Starbucks My Patootie! – 5/26/2015
I finally finished this one this morning and it’s been a struggle. Old age has given me a cataract in my right eye which is the one my vision is centered on. Doesn’t bother me that much for distance viewing but up close it’s a real bummer. Trying to do fine detail, especially painting is…
Starbucks My Patootie! – 5/11/2015
Here’s one I just finished this morning. While I’ve done one similar to this before this one is much larger, standing almost 18″ with the base. I plan on a real neat apron design which should really make the carving. Hope you like him. Comments welcome.
Fuzzy – Lash LaRue’s Sidekick
I was ask about Lash LaRue’s sidekick when I posted an entry a few days ago. Where here he is. Played by Al St. John, From IMDB: “ Movie legend has it that the “Fuzzy” nickname occurred during the Fred Scott singing westerns at Spectrum in the 1930s. Apparently the producers were trying to hire Fuzzy Knight, but…
OUT WEST HAPPENINGS! – 04/10/2015
I thought I would add a few other things that are going on around the Out West Gallery and Shop to maybe spice up my carving ramblings. Yep! It’s April and spring is here! You can certainly tell that by the beautiful native Dogwood tree that stands between the Out West shop and Gallery. Our…
