Nailed the nameplate on this honcho this morning so he’s ready to ride out and check on those deadbeats that always seem to be hanging out behind the bunkhouse.   I had my doubts about this piece when I first started him but as he progressed he just seemed to get better and better, ending…

At last!  Glad to see this one leave the work table and head over to the Gallery.  But I will say it was a fun project and I already have another great idea that would involve a couple of these dirty birds.  I believe there is a video series on carving these birds on my…

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.

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…

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…
