John Wayne - Duke

I finished the carving yesterday and made the base this morning.  I think he turned out really nice and should make a nice addition to someone's collection.   I made the hat cord out of some twisted wire and then carved the knots at the end.  I made the badge out of a piece of hammered brass, silver-soldered to a post.  I'll letter "Duke" on it once it's painted.  The base is walnut.

There are a few more photos in the Gallery and I look forward to your comments.

  2. Lynn, my apologies. I have run out of superlatives to use for comments on your creations. All I can say is it’s another winner, well done.

    Did you use your usual head 'pattern' and elongated somewhat?
