As I mentioned before, this is a smaller version of the one I did earlier. He stands about 10-11″ tall compared to the original which came in at around 16″. While it’s the same basic pose, the figure is different as is the apron design. I try to keep everything original if possible and for…

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!
Any Complaints? II – April 9, 2017
It’s been quite a while since I did a Chuckwagon Cook so I thought I would do another of this character but on a smaller scale. As I mentioned earlier, I’m getting over a bad case of artist block so I guess you could say I’m easing back into it. This Cookie stands about 12″…
White Antelope – September 18, 2017
First, I’ve changed his name. I was originally planning to add a dusting of snow to the figure but it looked so good once painted I decided to leave it snow-free. I hope you approve of my decision. Comments always welcome.
Montana Bound – Part 2 – September 18, 2017
I forgot to post the piece once it was painted so here it is. I think it really turned out nice and will make a nice addition to someone’s collection. Funny…looking at it I actually feel a little sympathy for him as he’s not aware of white lies ahead. I hope you like him…
White Antelope – September 10, 2017 – Part 1
Here’s my latest, just off the table this morning. To reflect the title he will have just a light dusting of snow. I copied the base idea off of some bronze busts done by Dave McGary. As the anchor for the carving is off center this type of base does it in a real clever…
Montana Bound – Part 1 – August 16, 2017
I finished carving this one this morning. As you can see from the earlier post Blowing in the Wind, there have been some major changes. I decided to make the figure Custer and title it to reflect his jaunty attitude on his way to the Little Big Horn, not knowing what waits for him there….
The Cherokee Kid – August 2, 2017
Here’s a new one. If you think you’re seeing spots its because there are lots of them! He stands about 11″ tall with the walnut base. Hope you like him.
Yay! Yipee! Hooray!
This weekend the fiber optic installation crew finally showed up to complete one of the last steps toward our installation. That little black box up there on our power pole is the line coming in. The last step in the process is to have it run from the pole into the house which should happen…
Big Horn Bill – Part 2 – June 13, 2017
I think I’m going to need an eye exam after this one. Boy! Small details and old eyes make painting a difficult job! In the end though he turned out pretty good. The colors are bright and balanced and everything seems to work. So, now it’s off to the next project while we still wait…
Big Horn Bill – Part 1 – June 5, 2017
With the easy part of the painting applied and the shirts, hat and knife sheaf beading areas primed, it’s time to start doing some research on the type of beaded patterns to use. The areas might appear a little stark in the photo but the end result will be balanced by choosing colors that will…
