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…

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!
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…
The Big Project – Part 3 – March 19, 2017
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…
