Here's a New One!

 

I finally finished this one up this morning.  It's been setting on my work table for about a month so I'm glad he's moved over to the paint table.  There's not much that's new about the figure.....Just another Cowboy bust.  However, I was having trouble with the neckerchief, being as it was a bust and the scarf  knot usually is on the back of the neck I realized that I carved the cloth without it.  Well, setting at the computer the other day doing my normal morning web searches I happen to glance over and see a little
memory stick which had the shape of the missing piece.  So, a quick trip down to the shop, a search through the cutoff box, a little carving and some reworking one side of the cloth, the problem was solved.  Turned out pretty nice and gave some needed interest to the piece.  

I hope you like it.  Comments welcome. 

We're Back!

Well, it's been a while but here we are back where we started 15 years ago.  We've decided to shut down the Out West Gallery website as we can no longer give it the attention that it needs to efficiently operate.  So, you can follow future Out West adventures either here or on the new "Out West Woodcarving: Face Book page.  Here's a link to that one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/151588650372839

One thing to be aware of....Should you look back through old Blog posts and find that a lot of the associated videos are missing you might find them on our Youtube site.  Here is the link to that one: https://www.youtube.com/user/lodoughty

As always, comments welcome.
