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!
“Darn, I Dropped The Remote!”
I’ve carved a lot of what I consider Classic carvings over the years and this one is one of those. I say Classic because I think it captures the best of my carving and also displays a great example of what some might say is my twisted attempt at humor. Looking at that carving of…
Finishing My Carving!
Over on the Caricature Carvers Face Book page, a carver ask the question that has been asked at least a thousand times on the best way to apply a finish to their carving. In case you don’t know my thoughts on the matter, here is my response to that question along with some added advice…
Carving A Cowboy’s Horse
Yesterday, I received a call asking “Where’s the pattern for that horse!” Of all the inquiries I receive, and I get a lot of them, that question is the one that tops the list. After about 30 minutes I was finally able to guide them to a place where they could obtain that pattern and…
Iron Eyes
Another colorful piece. Same pose…different Indian! You will see a lot like that. But each piece will still be unique. That’s important to me. Comments welcome.

Princess Red Bird and Chief Many Feathers
Well the lady seems pleased but I don’t know about the Chief. Something must have happened in the tepee ! One thing for sure, they sure know how to dress up for the Pow Wow! Comments welcome.
Indian Brave
This is an early one. Carved back in 1999. He’s clearly ready for battle…decked out with his lance, shield, bow and arrows, tommyhawk, and I’ll bet there’s a knife behind that shield. Native Americans are a joy to carve and paint. There are details galore and then there’s the painting challenge. Oh, and the research…
A Clean Sweep In Wichita!
Here’s a post about a great day at the Wichita Woodcarving Show back in April, 2008. Happenings like this make it all worthwhile!.
