Monte Walsh – Part 6 – The Right Arm

Well, Judy is just about finished with all the mowing so I guess I’d better turn off the Western Channel, put away the remote and try to look busy!

With this episode we’ll start with that right arm …. the one holding the cigarette.  It’s promises to be an adventure as I haven’t done a hand in that position.  As it’s a little more involved it will take at least two videos considering I have a tendency to get a little windy.  You can find the pattern for the arm in the Monte Walsh album.

  4. Glad that @%*%$# mowing is done and your back making chips. Great explanation of the right hand and also again reminding us to watch the grain of the wood we're working on (I have a whole pile of broken appendages becasue I didn't orient it right). I like the challenge of the position of this hand too. But watching you work out the details is most rewarding. Great job 'splainin' all.

  6. OK, so now that we all know that it's Judy that does all of the "real" grass-cutting, I must ask the next logical question: "Does she make house calls????" :-)

  10. Lynn,

    Great discussion on setting up grain flow on a particular piece and when to use harder/higher quality wood. One of the durability tricks we use in decoy carving is PVC for fragile tails and harder wood inserts for duck/shore bird bills, etc. Also, your sharing of anatomy of hand positions is tremendously valuable.
