This is a small carving with little detail concentrating on single gouge and knife strokes to give definition. [View]
Working Man
This guy is not a dude. He has a rough attitude that goes along with the well-worked clothing. He is a “working man”. [View]
Morning Mug
The first mug of coffee in the morning hits the spot before you tighten the suspenders, slip on the boots and go to work. The hat is always the first thing on while the coffee brews! [View]
Memories of a Race
Even a horse must have fond memories of a time past remembering when he ran the fastest race of the day! [View]
Little Cowpoke (Yellow Bandana)
This little guy was a blast to carve! He is all hat and legs with a thick mustache thrown in! [View]
Hooch
I knew a cowboy once who was on top of his game in the mornings but had difficulty with the afternoons as added spirits he called “hooch” seemed to limit his ability to stay on top of his ride! Yep, he was nicknamed “Hooch” cause that was what he drank! [View]
Pool Honey
This “pool babe” would frighten off most folks but you have to give her credit for trying and not giving up! On a good day this “babe” might be a bad nightmare! [View]
El Gusano (The Worm)
The worm in the small bottle says it all! This is a rough-out. Using a design by noted caricature carver Dave Stetson. Includes a bottle of Mescal! [View]
Best of Friends
You kind of get the feeling these two grew old together! If you want, the carving of the old guy can actually be mounted on the back of the horse or standing with one another like in the photo. [View]
Store-Keep
With his apron, pencil, bow tie and a grin that won’t quit this guy is ready to help! [View]
Jest Kidden
I wanted to capture a rugged guy who seemed to have a little personality and a personal joke to tell and who winked at you when he talked cause he had something to tell. This caricature got a ribbon at a show so I guess the judges got the drift…. [View]
Reservation Wal-Mart
I’ve spent a lot of time out on the Navajo Nation lands and have always appreciated the culture. The jewelry is where the wealth is kept and this guy is a bit of a throwback because of the flat brimmed hat and moccasins. The trading posts in the generation past were the place to shop and buy basic provisions, often leaving the jewelry as collateral until they had the cash. In a way I guess the the trading post was the only general store available! [View]
