Judy and I had the opportunity to return to Woolaroc Museum the other day to see how the Chuckwagon installation was progressing. WOW! Looking Good! There is still some work to be done to the front of the display as they had originally planned on doing display cases there that would have contained artifacts associated…

The Big Project – Part 2 – February 22, 2017
It took a lot of hard work by a lot of people but the Chuckwagon is finally in it’s new home at the Woolaroc Museum. All that’s left now is to turn that empty corner in the Museum into a fleshed out piece of the Old West. In just a month or so visitors will…
The Big Project – Part 1 – January 22, 2017
As I mentioned in the last post, we’re working on a Big Project that will come together toward the end or middle of February. As part of that I had to build a new display stand, which for an amateur furniture maker, is no mean feat. But, with Judy as my trusty assistant, we managed to…
Quint – January 4, 2017
Happy New Year! Well, not only did Quint get a coat of paint he also got a new name. I’ll admit I took a little liberty with the name as E.C. “Teddy Blue” Abbott was a good friend and rode with painter Charles Russell and wrote the book “We Pointed Them North”, about the…
Spotted Elk – December 8, 2016
Here’s another that’s been setting on the bench for quite a while. Except for the completion of the lance and the addition of some feathers he’s complete. Unfortunately, him and Quint seem to have developed an attachment and just can’t bring themselves to migrate over to the paint area. This one also stands around 12″…
Quint- December 8, 2016
I might have posted a photo of this piece on Face Book but, as he’s still setting on the work bench in his raw state maybe posting it here will get me out of my rut and get him painted. He measures around 10-12 inches with the base and once painted should really be a…
Pistol Pete – September 15, 2016
Here’s Pistol Pete, the Oklahoma State University Cowboys mascot! While he doesn’t look much like the actual historical figure he does instill a small amount of fear in the opposing team. Go Pokes!
Dayton 2016 Woodcarving Show Report – September 08, 2016
Well, we had some doubt about the show considering it’s move to Wilmington, OH and the change in dates, however, for us at least, things worked out better than expected. I managed to Ace the competition events I entered and our sales were better than any previous show. Granted, attendance was down a bit and…
The Breed – August 30, 2016
This will be my “Silent Auction” piece for the Dayton Woodcarving Show coming up this weekend. With the walnut base it’s about 11″ tall. He’s off the reservation and cooling his moccasins somewhere on the beach from the reflection on his glasses. I’ve always wanted to do a good pair of mirrored sunglasses and I…
Big Bear – Part 2 – August 22, 2016
Here’s the last one I’ll be able to finish before the trip to Ohio for the 2016 Dayton Ohio Artistry in Wood show. Big Bear stands at just under 18″ with the oak base so he’s a pretty impressive Drummer heading off to the big Pow Wow. I did a lot of paint mixing…
