Saturday, May 24, 2008 Now I would say that those biscuits definitely had the correct measure of Baking Powder! So light….so fluffy…certainly different that the one’s Mom used to make! And no….I’m not going to share the recipe! –As I said earlier, not to many caricature carvers try to portray the fairer sex except when they…

Buxom Biscuits
Here she is! This one has taken me a little longer to produce as I really wanted to get the figure just right. While the anatomy is somewhat exaggerated I still wanted them to be soft, nicely rounded and tasteful. I also worked to make sure the figure was balanced even with those bodacious ta-ta’s….
Beer-Thirty
May 7, 2008 Here’s a figure I did a while back that I don’t think I’ve posted before. I had a lot of fun carving him but the most enjoyment was collecting and disposing of the reference material. I made the six-pack carton out of metal and then individually carved the bottles. To make them…
Granny Gets A Tattoo – Finished!
Wednesday, May 07, 2008 Finally!!! This thing has really been a chore to finish. The carving part was easy compared to the shop front and all that lettering. Ever tried to letter backwards on a piece of clear Lexan? I don’t recommend it!–I think it’s a nice little scene…an unusual one. It’s not so funny…
Granny Gets A Tattoo!
Now, if this works out it will be a really funny scene. Granny is standing out in front of the local Tattoo Parlour contemplating the “Today’s Special”. I know what that special will be but won’t give it away until I get the building built. Granny has her umbrella, her purse and you’ll note that…
The Texas Skip – Finished!
April 23, 2008 I put the finishing touches on this fella today. I must say that he turned out really well. I only had to epoxy the wire rope into his left hand as it fit just perfect in his right. I was hoping for that as when people touch it, even though you tell them…
Doing The Texas Skip!
Friday, April, 2008 This is a figure I’ve been working on for quite a while. I first got the idea up at the Kansas City Woodcarving show. It portrays a cowboy spinning his rope. The Texas Skip is the action of spinning the rope parallel with the body and jumping or skipping through it as…
A Clean Sweep In Wichita!
Tuesday, April 08, 2008 I was very fortunate to take Firsts in all the Caricature categories at the Great Plains Woodcarving Show in Wichita, Kansas this past weekend. “Sad End To A Bad Year” won the Single Figure in a Scene, “Deets” for Single Figure, “A Cowboy’s Pony” for Animal Figure, and “Distant Drums” for…
The Country Doctor
Sunday, March 16, 2008 To hopefully keep your interest in this Blog here is a smaller carving similar to the Doc used on his rural rounds. This figure stood about 6 inches tall.–The Buggy was a real fun project. I made the folding top out of a piece of cotton cloth soaked in shellac and…
Joshua Hits The Trail!
Every once in a great while we a lucky enough to produce something that that seems to be a step above our normal output. “Joshua Deets” is just such a carving. Maybe it was the love I have for the saga of Lonesome Dove and the fantastic and colorful characters that inhabit it. Maybe it…
