Here are two nice little busts.  I especially like the Old Scout.  Even as a caricature there seems to be a measure of dignity about his.  Captain Jack appears mighty proud of his Revolutionary souvenir.  We’re sure glad he evidently made peace with that bunch of white-eyes! Comments welcome as always.

Originally published in 2011. I know it’s been a while since I posted anything but I have a good reason for that…..I’ve been working overtime on this figure.  With Woolaroc offering me the chance of a carver’s lifetime goal,  I thought I would repay them a bit by carving a caricature of founder of the…

Here’s another favorite that doesn’t stick around long.  It took me a while to figure out how I soldered the last one together but finally got it made.  Still have to add the cloth remnants to the ends of the frame and then it’s off to the paint table.  As before he’ll be standing in…

I managed to wrap this one up while setting at the Tulsa show last weekend.  I really like him and can see some really nice painting details ahead.  The breastplate area was lacking something so after some thought, and coming off of carving all those buffalo skulls I thought I’d try and do skull.  I…

Here’s one of my most popular carvings.  I can’t remember just how many of these I’ve made over the years but I do know that as soon as they’re finished they’ve left the Gallery to a new home.   Comments welcome. 

While updating photos I came across this video series which explains and show my painting technics.  It’s an 8 part series and here is the first segment:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEuvls35FW4&t=14s&ab_channel=LynnO.Doughty

Wow!  Now here’s a surprise.  I found this photo in the “Sherlock Holmes” folder!  I did this one back in the 70’s.  I’ve always wondered where the photos of that piece disappeared to.  It was probably the  of the first scene I ever created.  Sure wish I had taken more photos of it.  Note the…

Here’s what I’m working on at the moment.  This one stands about 15″ tall on the base so he’ll be a real eye catcher when he’s finished.  Still have to add the feathers to the shield and maybe a totem above the horse.  Hopefully, there will be scalp locks hanging from his shoulders as soon as we…

Originally published in 2011 Whittled the shovel this morning to finish the major parts of this scene.  Still have to make some biscuits to go into the Dutch oven then it’s off to the paint table.  I gave him a water bucket to put something in that right hand.  He can use it to douse…
