Burning Leather On The 6666


The wife and I drove to Lubbock, Texas back in '01 to attend the National Cowboy Symposium. West of Wichita Falls we came upon the eastern boundary of the Four 6's ranch. Close to 340,000 acres we seemed to drive forever before we came to the western line. Half way we came to the town of Guthrie where the ranch headquarters are located. How many ranches are so large that they have their own town? Quite a place....quite a history. Here's a link if you want to learn more about it: http://www.6666ranch.com/home.shtml

I thought the brand of this ranch was unique and would make a good item to build a scene around. As is evident from the carving the wrangler's iron is hot and he's waiting for the boys to drag over the next one so he can apply the company's signature.

Just a couple more photos of this one and comments welcome.

    Another great one - I just love all the different facial expressions that you carve. On this guy did you carve the gloves seperately and attach them?
