Chuck’s On Boys!
Originally published in 2011 Here is a Chuckwagon cook I just finished. He’s holding that coffee pot we made earlier and also a new version of a kerosene lantern. Still honing a method of making a lamp that I can share. This one is pretty close…a couple more weeks and I think I’ll have it. …
The Road Agent
I came across this book cover while surfing around the web and thought it would really make a great caricature carving. I really like the shape of the mask as it gives a real sense of evil and danger. I’ll probably change a few things but will stick to the pose shown. After some other…

Done Gone Under
Originally published in 2011. “Here’s an early look at a scene I’m working on. Started it early last year and you may have seen in setting on the table during some of the videos. I made the base first as I wanted to see just how it would look as a platform for the figures….
The Viking Warrior
Originally done as a video project back in June 2011. If I can find it in my records I’ll put it on Youtube! This little terror now resides somewhere in Scandinavia! “I painted the flag design this morning and put everything together so here he is, ready to jump in his ship and go off…
Befuddled!
Sometimes I forget what I’m doing or where I’m at when transferring old posts into the new Blog. Unfortunately, this seems to happen more frequently lately. Anyway, to try to reorient myself, this post shows most of what carvings I completed back in 2010. Now I can hopefully begin posting work from 2011 without the…
