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…

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!
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…
Making A Pair Of Reflective Sunglasses
These 5 videos were posted on Youtube 5 years ago. Now that you know how simple it is to make a pair of looking glass frames, here is a little more difficult project on how to make a pair reflective sunglasses. Again, while there are quite a few more steps in the process I think…
Making A Pair Of Glasses
We made this video on how I make glass frames back in 2015. Since then it’s received 4,617 views so I guess a lot of carvers found it interesting. Hopefully, they made their own set to add to one or some of their carvings cause this little detail can add a lot of character to…
Having Fun With The Chuckwagon! – 06/27/2015
Here are some photos of a family event we had using our old Chuckwagon. While it always caused a lot of work to set it up, operate out of it, and then take it back down, it was a heck of a lot of fun. We no longer have the old wagon and were sad…
