I hoping to get this one done before the Kansas City show.  It’s all finished now except for the painting.  That bear claw necklace is a real snappy detail which will look great once it’s painted.  I plan on threading some beads between the claws but will have to wait until it’s almost completely done…

Originally published on October 26, 2014 – Here’s my contribution to the “Silent Auction” portion of the Artistry in Wood show in Dayton, Ohio beginning on November 8.  The Dayton group use this event to raise money for their charities and group.  This years theme was characters related to a Circus.   My first thought…

Here’s a new one!  Not much to say other than it captures figure and the paint looks pretty good.  I’ve got to say though that painting things like a knife design is hard on my old eyes.  Just can’t do it like I used to. Appreciate your comments.

Actually, you probably do after all the posts lately about him.  Here is the other, larger head of Mr. Palance mounted as a bust.  I changed the color of his neckerchief a bit by adding some iridescent light green to the black.  I also painted the back of his vest with iridescent burnt orange to…

I received a call yesterday evening from a new subscriber requesting where he could find patterns of carvings I’ve done.  Although you can find certain patterns on the Youtube videos on my channel I thought I would attach a few of them to this post.  He also mentioned that he was having trouble moving through…

Originally published on March 17, 2014 I gave this one it’s final touch-up this morning so he’s on his way to make a debut at the Kansas City show this coming weekend.  He’s a tall one….topping out at approximately 24″.  One thing I learned while doing this one…it’s a lot easier on my old eyes…

Originally published on March 4, 2014 Disaster!  Why me? I blame it on the cold weather or my not warming up the shop before applying the mirror as it cracked!  You know what they say about breaking a mirror so I don’t know what the future of this piece will be but, so far, it’s…

Wrapped this one up yesterday.  Had my doubts about him but he turned out pretty good after all.  Tried a little darker complexion by adding some brown to the flesh mixture.  I like it. Comments welcome. 

Originally published in 2012 I haven’t decided on a name for this fella yet.  Would like to call him Santiago but I’ve used that one already, same goes for Pancho, Pedro, Pablo,  so will continue my search for a good one. He’s pretty good sized, standing about 15″ with the base. Comments welcome.   

Originally published in 2012.  Here’s a busted up Buckaroo who I just finished this morning.  From the looks of him Happy Hour down at the Gold Nugget Saloon didn’t end too well by the looks of the fat lip, the cracked skull and the swelling shiner, not to mention the shot up hat.  I was…
