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.
As the old saying goes, there is more than one way to skin a cat!

Sure enjoy your posts I did caricatures back in the days when in high school and while in the Air Force back in the late 50s then I discovered leather work !! Have been making hadsaddles for a living since 1965
DeleteWas influenced in the beginning by a collection of Andy Anderson that Buck Bershears in LA Junta
I would never consider one of your carvings as ‘just another cowboy bust’, all your carvings are unique and GREAT!!!
