Here he is …. fresh off the paint table.  I went a little farther on the paint job being as he’s headed for a museum exhibit.  Hopefully, you will note an improvement in my carvings, the painting and their overall presentation on future pieces as I think now is the time to really stretch myself…

Originally published in 2012 Here’s a bust I put the finishing touches on today.  Looks like he’s going to be a colorful one…lots of bead work to paint.  Next to Native Americans I love doing these Mountain Men as, like the other, there is so much detail available and so much paint to apply if…

Originally published in 2012 Wow!  I’m sure I wouldn’t want to meet this hombre out in front of the Saloon.  He looks a little P.O.’d!   This was really a fun figure to do and as you can see from the photo.    He’s also pretty impressive….standing about 16′ tall.   I like him! I…

I’ve always wanted to do a carving of the character played by Clint Eastwood in all those Italian movies so here’s my first attempt. Hopefully, I captured that sneer that really makes the character and I confess I had a little help from the movie Rango where this figure made a brief appearance. There will…

This post will close out the Coal Miner project. Needless to say, I’m sorry we couldn’t flesh him out like I had originally hoped but even without the addition of a coal cart I think he looks pretty snappy. One thing for sure…..he needs to spend a few minutes, maybe an hour, in the shower….

Now for a little history about this fella.  Since we’ve been going to Woolaroc Museum for our exhibit each week for the past month, and since they have the largest collection…

Now sure what this guy is cooking but I don’t think I’ll place an order.  He’ll have a cigarette handing out the side of his mouth, no doubt to let the ashes drop in the soup to give it some extra flavor.  Couple more photos in the gallery but this is an original so no…

This Bottlestopper was made for the Woodcarvers Auction at the November, 2012 Dayton, Ohio Artistry in Wood show.    I was worried about the green but with a little Midnight Blue and Yellow mixed in for shading he turned out pretty good.  The red and white really amplify that face. I can’t remember exactly what…

Originally published in 2012 Here is the newest piece just off the carving bench.  Stands a little over 12″ tall with the base.  Should be pretty colorful once painted.  I gave him some hammered brass earrings which I’ve painted gold.  Still have to add some wire ties to his shell choker which should finish the…
