A number of you have asked to do this project for quite some time so here we go. The photo on the left is not necessarily the exact Wrangler we'll do but it will serve as a good representation. The pose will be pretty much the same.

First, let me say that in doing this project you will be using tools that if not properly used can cause serious injury. You should read, understand and follow all safety guidelines given in the tools manuals. The last thing I would want is for someone to become injured while doing one of my projects.

With this first post I'll show you how to lay out the body of the horse on the block. We'll be using some of that great Heineke basswood 1-1/4" thick. Everything is explained in detail along with each photograph in the associated gallery album. Make sure you click on each photo to read the complete comment. While this might be a caricature the horse & rider are in scale with the Steer we just completed.

This should work out to make a great scene with lots of public appeal so let's get started. There are lots of photos in the gallery and comments are always welcome.

ReplyDeleteI love your carvings and am interested in attemping your cowboy on horse. I see the pictures posted on Picasa, but I'm unable to find any of the comments or explainations that you mentioned above. Am I missing something?
