A Frowning Cowboy - The Head`

Last night, while watching a real good modern western titled "Don't Come Knocking", starring Sam Shepard, I made a little sketch of a frowning Cowboy which ended up looking like it might make a good character. This morning, after cleaning out the horse stalls, carrying hay and picking hooves I went over to the shop and cut out a blank. As this is a little different from my normal heads I thought you might like to come along for the ride to see how I went about carving it out.

I won't put any descriptions next to the photos as there are about 40 of them and they are large enough for you to see the cuts I made as the project progressed along. Should you have any questions just drop me a note in the comment section and I'll try and answer it.

April 25....Okay! Here he is all painted but not in a very good mood. Evidently his trip down to the Sale Barn didn't work out like he thought it wood.

Lots of photos in the Gallery.
