Chung Lee – Parts 1, 2, and 3
Part 1: This post will cover the carving of the head. You’ll note that I have not included his mustache, his beard or his Que. We’ll add them in the next post. The reason I’m doing it this way is that they will be somewhat fragile and if we carved them from the original block…
Teddy – The Rough Rider
Originally Published on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Teddy Roosevelt always seemed to me to be an excellent character to make a caricature of, especially in his role as a Rough Rider. After searching through all the available photos on the web I found the one I posted in the gallery that I’m using as a…
The Wife’s New Horse

Elementor #3298
Monday, December 10, 2007 As everything outside is frozen solid with an ongoing ice storm I thought I’d go ahead and post the work I finished today. As you can see I’ve added the two braids and burnt in a lot of the detail. The reason for burning now instead of waiting until everything is…
War Bonnet!! – Part 1 – The Headdress & Head
Friday, November 23, 2007 All that Thanksgiving Turkey got me to thinking I should carve something with feathers so how about a War Bonnet? Of course I’ll put a head in there to make it more interesting. One thing for sure though, as this piece will be a little larger than I normally carve it…
