Originally published on May 31, 2014 I don’t know if you all have been following the “Turn” series presently showing on the AMC channel about General Washington’s spy network, it sure sparked my interest. I had just recently read BrianKilmead’s book “The Secret Six” which was also about these same events but seeing the many…

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!
“You Don’t Know Jack!”
Actually, you probably do after all the posts lately about him. Here is the other, larger head of Mr. Palance mounted as a bust. I changed the color of his neckerchief a bit by adding some iridescent light green to the black. I also painted the back of his vest with iridescent burnt orange to…
Spotted Horse
Believe it or not, here is a NEW carving I’ve been working on! And yes….it’s been a struggle to find the time to get this far! Springtime around here seems to be nothing but chores, and this year you can add close calls from a couple of Tornadoes into the mix! Thankfully, with the advent of…
Iron Shirt – Finished!
Originally published on April 7, 2014 Here he is….all painted up and ready to make his debut! I had my doubts for a while as to whether he would turn out as nice as I originally planned but glad to say he made the grade. The colors really set him off and the feathers and…
Iron Shirt
Originally published on March 18, 2014 Here’s the beginning of a new Native American bust. The plan is to have him not only wearing a highly decorated coat but also a Conquistador’s breast armor underneath. Sounds interesting? I started the head this past Saturday while at a regional Carve-In we held down at the local…
Where’d He Go?
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Had to make a quick trip to North Carolina on personnel business. Should be back to posting in a couple of days.
Patterns
I received a call yesterday evening from a new subscriber requesting where he could find patterns of carvings I’ve done. Although you can find certain patterns on the Youtube videos on my channel I thought I would attach a few of them to this post. He also mentioned that he was having trouble moving through…
Red Horse – Finished At Last!
Originally published on March 17, 2014 I gave this one it’s final touch-up this morning so he’s on his way to make a debut at the Kansas City show this coming weekend. He’s a tall one….topping out at approximately 24″. One thing I learned while doing this one…it’s a lot easier on my old eyes…
Red Horse – No Color Yet!
Finished up with the carving on this one this morning and have started adding all the details. Still have to flesh out the pipe -but once that’s done the carving should be pretty well finished. After that it’s on to the paint table and the real fun. I made his earrings out of brass…
Red Horse – Under Construction!
Originally published on March 4, 2014 Here’s the beginning of my next project. It’s will be quite a large carving…already testing the limits of my Band-saw not to mention my right arm! Excluding the head the body blank took an entire 4″ x10″x18″ block of that good Heineke wood. He will be holding a…
