Old Crusty got his makeup on yesterday so he's all ready for his trip to Kansas City cause he's heard that "everything is up to date"* there and he's a guy who want to be au courant with whats happening! Hopefully, he'll do some networking and get hired on at another spread. One thing for sure....with that "Equalizer" strapped on to his leg any ribbing about his choice of cup contents has suddenly came to a complete halt.-
This was a pretty quick project and the kind I think I'll do more of. Big involved scenes are challenging but they don't sell very well. There's not too many collectors out there who can devote a complete table or desktop to a piece but they can find room to display a single figure.

Anyway, I hope you like him and look forward to your comments. More photos in the gallery.

Extra Note: Under the Gallery link I've posted a link to my Facebook page. There's not much carving going on there just my frequent postings of jokes, cartoons, photos and other stuff. Also, as it seems the older I get the more conservative I become so those who lean more to the liberal side might not enjoy the visit. Living out here in the boondocks I'm always on the lookout for new "friends" and Facebook seems to be a means to hook up with some.
Lynn, ever give any consideration to woodburning the eyebrows?
ReplyDeleteNo to the eyebrows. It's just too small of an area.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work as usual and thank you for all the posts lately.Could you give the size of the carvings sometimes please?It would help us to better understand what you go through on the detailing as it can get quite hard sometimes on the smaller pieces.Be well!
ReplyDeleteEven Ole Crusty is sophisticated enough to enjoy a "spot of tea".....great work Lynn & good luck in KC at the show. Hope you can get a chance to sample some good bar-b-que. That city is known for the best.
ReplyDeleteSometime could you show how you do the holster & gun and also maybe resurect how the spurs are made. Really like the new gallery but miss the info on the old one.
My version of spurs is such a pain, I left em off the last carving, ever consider showing how you do it?
ReplyDeleteNice work Lynn. Good luck in KC. Will be curious to see how Johnny Reb does, my favorite! Jin O'Harra
