Not much to say about this fella other than he evidently had a good time the night before. He’s mounted on a piece of Texas Caprock Judy and I picked up out in west Texas out riding our horses. Makes a really nice mounting detail. Hope you like him. Comments welcome.

The Buffalo Soldier
I’ve always been fasinated by the Buffalo Soldiers, probably because they were headquarted just up the road from us in Fort Scott, Kansas. They patrolled the military highway between there, Fort Gibson, Ok, and Fort Smith, Arkansas. Just maybe they rode right by the Out West Gallery. Whatever, I carved this First Sergeant back in…
The Bull Fighter
–To do the barrel I first turned the basic shape on the lathe and then used my largest forstner bit to drill a hole about 1″ deep to accommodate the head and hands. After that I whittled the surface and added the details. Here he is all painted and ready to face that horny hunk…
The Patriot
Here’s one I’m really proud of. Lots of details and a great subject. Carved back in 2008. Hope you like him. Comments welcome.
The Texas Skip
Here’s a Cowboy with lots of action, showing off his rope spinning skills. Hope you like him. Carved back in 2008. Comments welcome.
Trouble On The River
This is a big one! I won’t try to explain all that went into this piece as it would take quite a bit of typing and I’m no secretary. Let’s just leave it as an event on the river with a canoe full of furs being overturned by a moose somewhere out west during the…
A Couple of Unknown Cowboys!
These two wranglers were carved back in the 2007’s. I’m sure they received a brass name plate but I can’t remember what they said or which was which. I was carving pretty steady back then. Nice looking little figures with the great looking Horseshoe bases. Another thing that’s interesting with these two is that you…
Waiting For A Good One
Here’s another early one. A wrangler relaxing against the corral fence, waiting for a prospective ride for the days chores. He’s got his bridle hanging from the fence, ready for that good looking Paint on the far side of the remuda. I can’t see the date on the base but it’s two digits so it…
Sgt Buffalo
I’ve seen a number of posts and questions over the years about just what colors should be used to paint a Black character, whether caricature or otherwise. Well, I’ll give you my solution and it’s a simple one. We’ll use Sgt Buffalo as an example as I think the colors used in his case do…
Off Season Santa – Part 2
Let’s see….Slippers, Beer, Racing Form….Now to get those Dwarves out of the recliner! This was a fun figure to do even though I’m not really orientated toward this Jolly Old Fella. But, sometimes you just have to go with the flow of things and on the Caricature Carvers Face Book site that’s Santa. However, in…
