Originally published on September 7, 2011 Here are a couple heads I carved at our Tuesday carve-a-long. As a rule, I don’t normally work on a current project at these meetings as it’s hard to concentrate and keep up with the conversations and joke telling. I can, however, almost whip out a quick head study…

Cheyenne Dog Soldier – Part 5
Originally published on September 12, 2011 I spent most of Sunday and all this morning finishing this fella up. All I can say is WOW! He really turned out well and I’m sure will be one of the best examples of my efforts so far.–I’m not really sure just how many feathers are in his…
Cheyenne Dog Soldier – Part 4 – The Feathers
Originally published on September 9, 2011 I finished the shield and lance and have started with the feathers. I could only do one test strip row before the guy started to frighten me so I’m taking a break! I will say that this fella is really starting to look impressive. Can’t wait till all the…
Cheyenne Dog Soldier – Part 3
Originally published on September 7, 2011 Just a few more details…..I only have to flesh out the lance and shield and it will be time to start work on all those feathers. Took me two days to paint this fella only to have most of the beading details covered up by that necklace! Oh well,…
Cheyenne Dog Soldier – Part 2
Originally published on September 4, 2011 Spent the day finishing up the body, adding the braids and the claw necklace. Also added the shield and lance and turned the walnut base. This is going to be one impressive carving even if I do say so myself. I used an emery wheel to texture the…
Cheyenne Dog Soldier – Project – Part 1
Originally published on September 4, 2011 I’ve always been fascinated by the headdress worn by Cheyenne Dog Soldiers. So, with the confidence gained with previous projects I thought I just might be brave enough to give it a try as it would be a real challenge. Setting in the shop, I roughed out the…
The Road Agent
Just in case a lot of you aren’t aware about what is going on with this Blog, I am in the process of republishing many of my old Google Blogspot posts I’ve done over the years onto that site. Google has a tendency to change things it hosts with no warning and I want to…
The Sheepherders Wagon – An Update!
Good Grief Man! Just how long does it take for you to finish this project? It’s been over 10 years since you finished that wagon! Hey! Give me some credit! I at least got the base done. Sorry, some things just take time. Maybe this year? Comments welcome.
The Sheepherder’s Wagon Is Finally Finished!
Originally published on January 20, 2011 Added the last touches to my Sheepherders wagon yesterday and thought I would show off the the little beauty. There will still be a lot of details surrounding the wagon in the final scene but at least the interior and exterior wagon detail is finished. Hope you like it….
Sheepherders Wagon Gets A New Top
Originally published on December 21, 2010 Judy got the canvas top sewn this morning so we attached it to the framework and rolled up the one side so the inside can be seen. Still have to figure some type of coating to apply to give it some protection from dirty fingers. I’m really pleased with…
