Carving A Cowboy Bust - All Finished!

Ready for the big dance, Buckeye's got on his best bandana, some of that fancy toilet water that's guaranteed to make the girls do a doubletake, and he even brushed his tooth! If this don't work he's thinking seriously about volunteering for line-camp duty as there's no hope left!

This little bust turned out really nice, especially the base idea. I like it so well that I'm going to try a 3/4 figure along the same line. Maybe a Chuckwagon cook.

Lots of photos in the album and comments welcome as always.

Carving A Cowboy Bust - Finishing Up The Knife Work!

It rained all day so I spent the time in the shop finishing up this piece. I think it turned out really well and I tried a new trick with the base which makes it look even better. I also changed the design of the neckerchief from the original drawing to give him a little more pizzazz.

There are loads of photos in the album. Now all I have to do is to come up with a name. How about Buckeye? Comments always welcome.
