Originally published on November 2, 2011 Here is a pony I just wrapped up today. After Dayton he’s headed to Indiana to help herd any bovines in the area. While I had a choice of the type of coloring to use I really like the coloring of a Buckskin so that’s what he is. Matt…

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!
Muy Caliente
Originally published in October, 2011 Now, getting this one on the Blog will be a real challenge. It was originally created back in October,2011 as a Video series consisting a total of 24 videos for a total of 10 hours in length. Boy, was I dedicated back then. I will post the photos I have …
Running Buffalo
Originally Published on October 27, 2011 I thought this one might have to wait till the Dayton show but I wrapped him up this morning so will take him along to the OKC show. He turned out pretty good. I had my doubts for a while as I had originally planned on him holding a…
Chung Lee Bottle Stopper – Part 1
Ah So! I thought you might be interested in carving a Chinese bottle stopper considering that China seems to be on everyone’s mind these days. There are lots of photos involved and the unfortunate thing is that when I post them they somehow end up in reverse order! I’ve tried to find a way to…
Something New Has Been Added!
Can you buy an old guy a cup of coffee? If you look down at the bottom of this post you’ll see a newly added “Donation” button. I decided to do this to hopefully defray some of the costs in time and money to operate this site which I hope is beneficial to those of…
Carving A Horses Head – Part 2
First off…….Believe it or not, putting together these photographic posts takes about 10 times longer than doing a video. So, I have a favor to ask. Could you pass my Out West Blog on to your friends or any other Face Book groups or sites you might think would be interested? There’s a lot of…
Carving A Horses Head – Part 1
This is a NEW post! While going though some old posts before Judy and I started making videos, I came across this short Photo collection showing how I carve a caricature horse’s head. I thought it would make a good experiment to see if it’s possible to capture some of these older, photographic posts onto…
Cotton-Eyed Joe
Originally published on October 17, 2011 I’ve wanted to do this character for quite some time and I think this figure pretty well exhibits all the characteristics that I think make him interesting. I think everyone familiar with him knows that he’s just some country boy but they might not know that being cotton-eyed also…
The Top Hand
Originally published on October 10, 2011 Just put the final touches on this one this morning. He turned out really well. I especially like the muted colors of the shirt and neckerchief. The chaps look pretty worn too so he’s evidently seen some time in the saddle.–Hope you like him. There are more photos in…
Up & At Em!
Originally published on September 21, 2011 Here’s a new Chuckwagon Cook I just finished. You might recognize the head from the unfinished one in the post before this one. I had hoped he would be my entry for the over 15″ category but he missed it by 1/4″!! Going to have to speak to the…
