Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  Had to make a quick trip to North Carolina on personnel business.  Should be back to posting in a couple of days.

Finished up with the carving on this one this morning and have started adding all the details.   Still have to flesh out the pipe -but once that’s done the carving should be pretty well finished.  After that it’s on to the paint table and the real fun. I made his earrings out of brass…

Originally published on March 4, 2014 Here’s the beginning of my next project.  It’s will be quite a large carving…already testing the limits of my Band-saw not to mention my right arm!  Excluding the head the body blank took an entire 4″ x10″x18″ block of that good Heineke wood.   He will be holding a…

Originally published in 2014 The carving part of this piece was finished up today with the installation of the mirror.  Judy and I spent some time in the WalMart makeup section yesterday looking for a ladies compact that I could remove the mirror from to allow him to see his reflection.  I think it’s pretty…

  Originally Published in 2013 Just finished tuning up this piece prior to delivering it to the Museum.  About the only thing it needed was a new bed upstairs.  Evidently Diamond Lil was so busy up there that the bed springs gave way.  Either that or it suffered a pretty hard bounce on it’s way…

Originally published in 2013 Here is one I’ve been working on for the past couple of months.  I had hoped to get it finished before the Dayton show but just didn’t have the time.  It’s a large one, standing about 18″ with the base.  It depicts a wrangler taking a break from fixing some broken…

Originally published in 2013 Hooray!  It’s finally finished!  I’ve been working on this thing for what seems like ages.  Thankfully, it’s done and out of the shop.  The ermine headress has always fascinated me and I think I’ve captured it pretty well in this piece.  I encourage you to go on Google and do an…

Originally published in 2013 Here is one I finished up the carving part today.  He will probably be the most colorful piece I’ve done to date.  I’ve always wanted to do this type of headress just to see if I could and also to see how it would look as a woodcarving..  There will be…
