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.

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…

Constructing A Sheepherders Wagon – Carriage Framework & Stove

White Buffalo
Originally Published on November, 6, 2010 This will be the last piece I’m able to finish before this years Dayton, Ohio woodcarving show. I tried something new in attaching two shell ornaments to the top of his breastplate. This is one of the reasons I really like doing Native Americans is all the costume details…
Those Were Shining Times!
Originally published on October 20, 2010 really like this old timer. The paint really sets him off and just looking at him gives you a feeling of the good times during the height of the fur trapping period of our history. The shirt beading is from a Sioux war shirt design and the little…
