I had originally carved the steer in this scene for another group I was carving but it turned out just a little out of scale to be used. I can’t really remember just how the thought of depicting a little prairie justice came about but it worked and it was a lot of fun putting…

Looking Back – Way Back!
This was the 2nd Blog Post I made back in May, 2006. Hard to believe it was 14 years ago. There were not very many woodcarving sites up and active back then and we hadn’t adopted the video format yet….everything was illustrated by photos which, unfortunately, are no longer available due to Google cancelling their…
Looking Back – Joshua Deets
Since switching to the new ‘word press’ format of this site, and my feeble brain being in it’s upper 70’s, learning just how to use it has been quite daunting at times. Considering this, I thought I could get in some good practice by revisiting some past posts by bringing them back for a second…
Pow Wow Bound
I started this one last week, finished up the last few details, and he’s finally ready for the paint table. He stands at around 15 inches with the walnut & basswood base so he makes a nice presentation. I haven’t decided on just what the color scheme will be but it will be a colorful…
After the Hunt
Here’s one from back in 2016. Lots of detail and a great paint job! I really like the way the shield turned out. I made the spear head out of a piece of metal that I hammered to look like a piece of chipped flint. Just might have to try this pose again! Hope you…
The Emperor Goes To War!
Actually, he went to Mexico! Sure hope he doesn’t have revolution on his mind. We have enough of that up here for it to start down there! I did this one for my good friend Diego, down south of the border. I hope you like him and remember…..Your comments are welcome.
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
This is a piece I’m currently working on for a collector. With the base he stands at 15″. It should be pretty impressive once the color is added…..at least I hope so. While he might not be in the Old West era I normally work in it is still fun to do something a little…
