Where’s The Beef?

Originally published on August 26, 2014 – Here’s my latest.  Seems this poor fella was getting ready to sink his choppers into that big T-bone only to end up with Beans and Biscuits!  This one stands about 10-12 Inches tall with the walnut base.  Ought to be pretty neat once it’s painted.  I still have…

Yellow Hawk

Originally published on August 23, 2014 Here’s a small one, standing about 10″ with the base.  Just a quickie but I thought I’d show it off.  Really bright colors and I might darken up his skin tones a bit.  No more photos but your comments are always welcome.

He Looks Like A Good One!

Originally published on August 23, 2014 I finished this one last week so I guess it’s time I put him up for inspection.  He’s a good sized piece…standing about 22″ tall with the base.  I really like the coloring.  That blue shirt shows lots of use which is as it should be.  The same goes…

Apache – All Done!

Originally published on August 2, 2014 Finished up the final detailing on this guy.  Turned out pretty well but sure was a lot of painting!  Hope you like him.  More photos in the Gallery and comments always welcome.   Hay!  Todays my Birthday!!

Apache – Ready To Paint

Originally published on July 27, 2014 Put the final knife strokes to this one this morning so he’s destined for the paint table.  Still have to do some more detail on the lance and shield, i.e. feathers, etc. but it’s basically finished.  Should be quiet colorful once it’s completed.  Also, was lucky enough to have…

Cowboy

Originally published on July 24, 2014 This one is all finished but the painting.  He’s a big one…standing about 22″ tall.  He will be holding a lariat loop in one hand and the coiled excess in the other.  Should make for an interesting piece.  Will hopefully use him in a rather big experiment should things…

Apache

Originally published on July 24, 2014 Here’s one I’ve been working on over the past couple of days.  So far he’s looking pretty good.  That base is not the one that will be on the finished article….just something I had handy to make the thing look a little better.  He should be pretty colorful once…

The Old Scout

Here’s a new one!  Not much to say other than it captures figure and the paint looks pretty good.  I’ve got to say though that painting things like a knife design is hard on my old eyes.  Just can’t do it like I used to. Appreciate your comments.

“Shifty”- Not Me! The Other Guy!

Well….it’s been a while since I’ve been able to set down and make a couple of new entries on the Blog.  Boxing up and mailing out all the carvings that were sold a few weeks back plus the usual chores around the place has really occupied all our time.  Then there was the constant worry…

WOW!

Over the past several months I was repeatedly asked “When are you going to start selling carvings again?”  Well, with a lot of hesitation I did just that earlier this week.  Boy!  I was not prepared for the response that that generated.  Right now the shop looks more like a packing operation than any woodcarving…
