Originally published on March 4, 2014 Disaster! Why me? I blame it on the cold weather or my not warming up the shop before applying the mirror as it cracked! You know what they say about breaking a mirror so I don’t know what the future of this piece will be but, so far, it’s…

Just A Little Off The Top!
Originally published in 2014 The carving part of this piece was finished up today with the installation of the mirror. Judy and I spent some time in the WalMart makeup section yesterday looking for a ladies compact that I could remove the mirror from to allow him to see his reflection. I think it’s pretty…
The Gold Nugget Saloon – A Tune Up!
Originally Published in 2013 Just finished tuning up this piece prior to delivering it to the Museum. About the only thing it needed was a new bed upstairs. Evidently Diamond Lil was so busy up there that the bed springs gave way. Either that or it suffered a pretty hard bounce on it’s way…
Fence Work – Finished
Originally published in 2014 I finished this one up this morning with the help of Judy who was kind enough to construct the barbed wire while I put the final touches to the overall scene. This is a fairly large piece, measuring just about 22 inches including the base. I got the idea for it…
Fence Work
Originally published in 2013 Here is one I’ve been working on for the past couple of months. I had hoped to get it finished before the Dayton show but just didn’t have the time. It’s a large one, standing about 18″ with the base. It depicts a wrangler taking a break from fixing some broken…
White Antelope – Finished
Originally published in 2013 Hooray! It’s finally finished! I’ve been working on this thing for what seems like ages. Thankfully, it’s done and out of the shop. The ermine headress has always fascinated me and I think I’ve captured it pretty well in this piece. I encourage you to go on Google and do an…
White Antelope
Originally published in 2013 Here is one I finished up the carving part today. He will probably be the most colorful piece I’ve done to date. I’ve always wanted to do this type of headress just to see if I could and also to see how it would look as a woodcarving.. There will be…
“Any Complaint’s?” – Finished!
Originally published in 2012 Well, I put his watch in his vest pocket so he’s ready for his debut! I really like this one. As I mentioned earlier, he’s about 16″ tall without the base so you can’t miss him. Also, using an old style shirt front instead of the usual neckerchief really takes him…
“Any Complaints?” – Part 2
Originally published in 2012 Better not say nothing bad about his biscuits! This Cook is packin’! This was a fun figure to carve. Being larger than normal I could spend a little more time on the details so I fitted him out with a revolver and a meat knife and cleaver. I also gave…
“Any Complaints?”
Here is the head for one I’m now working on. He will be a Chuck Wagon cook not to open to any negative comments about his cooking. He’s also a little over sized than normal, standing about 16 inches all without the base. I want to do some that will stand up to being placed on a…
