I've been setting here trying to think up a good project for our next video series. Now, I know that some of you are really interested in putting a Cowboy on a horse but I'm not really open to that one yet as I've just finished doing that and would like to try something else. So, I'm open to any suggestions provided they can be done by an intermediate carver who's pretty good at the basics of carving but would like to stretch themselves a bit.
Put your suggestion in a comment below. Thanks.
Would like to suggest we carve a caricature of Annie Oakley from one of her classic full figure photos with her holding her rifle.

I love it when you do things outside of your comfort zone, like the Viking. How about a Conquistador.
ReplyDeleteSo many great possibilities. If we don't have to stick to a western theme, I (again) vote for a football player...everybody loves football, and you can customize the paint to reflect the favorite team of anybody..either pro or college (even HS for a kid's gift). We could do a modern player, or it might be fun to do an old-timer with leather helmet and no pads. If we stick with the western theme, a river boat gambler comes to mind..a Chinese railroad worker, a train conductor or engineer..and I would love to see you do any female figure, such as a farm wife milking a cow, a dance hall girl, or a soiled dove. We did the fireman, so an old timer policeman would be a good companion piece. Zombies are really popular in movies, games, and books now (my 33 year old daughter asked me to make her a zombie, (why I don't know)..so a zombie might be fun (could be a cowboy zombie..they die and get changed too you know. I will love whatever you do..but I really really really hope you chose a football player.

I forgot to add one I really would like..I have been wanting to do a knight in a suit of armor for a long time but am too intimidate to do it. That is probably my second choice. I also like the con
