Well, it’s been a while but I finally got back to doing something.  My Sister visited over the Memorial Day weekend and  on her way spent some time up in Winterset, Iowa attending the grand opening of the new John Wayne Museum (http://johnwaynebirthplace.museum/).  She brought along a bunch of brochures, etc., that she picked up…

 I think the piece turned out quite nice and clearly shows the fun you can have in creating a Native American.  Comments welcome. 

Painted this Mountain Man over the weekend and must say that he really turned out nice.  I thought he looked a little plain just by himself so added the knife and sheath and that really turned him into something else.  Comments welcome.

I was ask about Lash LaRue’s sidekick when I posted an entry a few days ago.  Where here he is.  Played by Al St. John, From IMDB: “ Movie legend has it that the “Fuzzy” nickname occurred during the Fred Scott singing westerns at Spectrum in the 1930s. Apparently the producers were trying to hire Fuzzy Knight, but…

I thought I would add a few other things that are going on around the Out West Gallery and Shop to maybe spice up my carving ramblings.  Yep!  It’s April and spring is here!  You can certainly tell that by the beautiful native Dogwood tree that stands between the Out West shop and Gallery.  Our…

I’ve been getting lots of questions lately about what type of paint I use and where can they be found.  Well, here are my thoughts on the matter!: – Yesterday, the wife and I drove up to Joplin to resupply my paint inventory.  Now, like a majority of most carvers who paint their pieces, we…

I had hoped to complete this piece before heading off to the Charlotte, North Carolina Woodcarving show that’s taking place this weekend but as the weather put an end to that it can make it’s debut here.  So, I guess before I can start a new piece I’d better head to the barn and look…

Originally published on January, 2015- – Painted this one yesterday.  Not that much to say about him other than I spent a little extra time on his hat.  I like the colors and hope you do too.

I put the final touches to this reprobate yesterday.  Took a few liberties by adding some real hair (horse hair actually!) which really brings him to life.  I also repainted his upraised arm and sword to make the piece a little more acceptable if that’s possible.  I left a little on his outer tunic to…
