Hard Times

This post is sort of a test to see if all the changes I’ve made to the Blog settings over the past couple of weeks are finally working as they should. When I switched to a new website format and incorporated the Out West Woodcarving Blog into it, I never thought it would take such…

Out West Youtube Videos

This morning we uploaded all the Vimeo videos we have in storage. No doubt there are others that we no longer have access to that will be lost once our Vimeo account is closed on October 1.

Vimeo Videos Ending!

Please note! Effective October 1, 2020, my Vimeo video account will end.  Unfortunately, this will result in the loss of a large number of downloaded videos that we have posted there over the years.  Should you wish to download a favorite video(s) it should be done before the above date.  After the above date some…

The Emperor

Angora Andy

Here’s a fella dressed for some cool weather considering he’s got on his woolies. Hope you like him. Comments welcome.

Short Circuit – He Never Learns!

Of all the pieces I’ve done over the years, this has to be the one that’s requested most. This latest version is on his way to the El Paso, TX region, to be raffled off to a bunch of appreciative Cowboys. I honestly can’t think of a better outcome. I hope you like him. Comments…

Teddy Blue Video Project – Part 13 – All Done!

Teddy Blue No. 2 Well, here’s Teddy-No.2!  Everything is there except the nameplate.  Setting here looking at him I’m wondering if somehow Teddy Roosevelt is out wandering the west again.  He does look a little like him.  Maybe if he smiled to where we could see his choppers ……….  Anyway, I think this project turned…
