Quite a few of you have been asking about when a new Video series with come out. Well, how about today? This will be a fairly short one and also one which shouldn’t be so difficult. If you can carve a Santa you should be able to carve Billy Little Fox! We’ll be using 3″…

Buffalo Bill Cody – August 21, 2015
Buffalo Bill Cody is one of my heroes in American History. Truly a remarkable man. In his time he was without a doubt the most famous man in the world. If you ever get the chance to visit the Cody Museum in Cody, Wyoming you should take it as it is one of the best…
Rooster Finds A New Home – August, 2015
Driving up to Winterset, Iowa, we handed over my carving of “Rooster” to the new John Wayne Museum this past Tuesday. They were quite excited about receiving it and placed it in the “True Grit” display case right next to the eyepatch John Wayne wore when filming the movie. Funny…when I mentioned that Judy and…
Rooster Cogburn – August, 2015
This has got to be one of the best I’ve done so it certainly deserves the “Classic” designation as an example of my best work. I had a little doubt about the collar but it turned out that that was one of the easiest parts to carve. I did reinforce the tips with some…
Rooster – August, 2015
I think I have the submission for the John Wayne museum to consider. While “The Searcher” was nice I think this one, once painted, will be the real standout. Can’t wait to see him in color. -Comments welcome.
Pancakes – July, 2015
“Pancakes”! Cookie just whipped up a stack of flapjacks for the boys as a special treat for their hard, dusty work keeping those cows in line. I had fun with this one, especially making that stack of hotcakes and painting them to look like the real article. I hit it pretty close I think. …
The Searcher – July 2015
I putt the finishing touches to this one today and am pretty satisfied with it. If things work out it will be destined for the new John Wayne Museum in Winterset, Iowa. Seems the Director of the museum and the Wayne family saw a photo of the small bust I did earlier and asked if…
Red Hawk II – July 11, 2015
Here’s a new one I just finished today. Approximately 8 inches tall with the base. I have to admit that I had my doubts about him but after applying the facial paint everything seemed to come together. For the texture on the robe I again used some fine gravel held in place by clear acrylic…
The Plains Warrior – 06/2015
June 4, 2014: This carving started out at our small carving group meeting at the Grove, OK community center. I can usually rough out a head in the two hours we meet while still swapping jokes and hearing all the gossip since the prior weeks meeting. – June 6, 2015: Here’s my progress so far. …
The Auction Results are In!
The Auction for the carving “Jeremiah” ended today at 12:00 with the winning bid of $405.00 from Keith Rumohr. Keith craftily sled in at the last moment with his bid and walked away with a pretty nice carving. So, if Keith can send me his address I will get the piece boxed up and ready…
