Part 1: This post will cover the carving of the head. You’ll note that I have not included his mustache, his beard or his Que. We’ll add them in the next post. The reason I’m doing it this way is that they will be somewhat fragile and if we carved them from the original block…

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!

Published June 9, 2008 I was watching some silent movies the other night and one titled “In Old San Francisco” had a bunch of Chinese characters in it and I made this quick sketch of one. I thought it would make a great caricature carving or maybe a bottle stopper thats a little different than…
Teddy Roosevelt In All His Splendor!
Originally published on Monday, June 09, 2008 Wow! Thats all I can say about this fella. He really turned out nice. He did have to make a detour to the Optometrist this afternoon to get a new set of glasses before his departue for Cuba but he left ready for battle. I hope you like…
Teddy – Ready to Charge The Paint Table!
Originally published on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 He’s got his sword, he’s got his sidearm, he’s got the Regimental Flag, he just brushed his teeth! This fella is just about ready to make the Charge up San Juan Hill! However, first he has to visit the paint table!–As you can see, I’m really having a…
Teddy – The Rough Rider
Originally Published on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Teddy Roosevelt always seemed to me to be an excellent character to make a caricature of, especially in his role as a Rough Rider. After searching through all the available photos on the web I found the one I posted in the gallery that I’m using as a…
Painting Okie Joe! Part 1
Well, Judy is up at the house recovering from a wild couple of weeks so I’m winging it down at the shop with the video camera. I hope you can stand an old man not cut out for the stage, screen, or videos while he fumbles his way through this production. So here it is…Part…
Okie Joe
It’s been a while but I actually managed to finished this Cowboy. Since the end of 2019 and the beginning of the worldwide infection by the Chinese plague, my desire to carve has been a real struggle. Hopefully, that’s finally behind me with this little fella. He still needs some paint and a lariat but…
Buxom Biscuits – Pillsbury’s Best
Saturday, May 24, 2008 Now I would say that those biscuits definitely had the correct measure of Baking Powder! So light….so fluffy…certainly different that the one’s Mom used to make! And no….I’m not going to share the recipe! –As I said earlier, not to many caricature carvers try to portray the fairer sex except when they…
Buxom Biscuits
Here she is! This one has taken me a little longer to produce as I really wanted to get the figure just right. While the anatomy is somewhat exaggerated I still wanted them to be soft, nicely rounded and tasteful. I also worked to make sure the figure was balanced even with those bodacious ta-ta’s….
Beer-Thirty
May 7, 2008 Here’s a figure I did a while back that I don’t think I’ve posted before. I had a lot of fun carving him but the most enjoyment was collecting and disposing of the reference material. I made the six-pack carton out of metal and then individually carved the bottles. To make them…
