Black Hills Gold Rush

Well, here it is!  Turned out pretty well but I sure am glad to get it off the workbench.  The carving part of these scenes is the easiest part for me but it's putting it all together that really taxes my patience.  It just seems to take so darn long.

I had wanted to add a couple of prairie dogs about midway between the mule and the miner but there just wasn't room.  It sure would have made the overall scene much more amusing.  I had envisioned one of them pointing at the miner while the other was doubled over laughing.  Oh well.....
