Tex - Saddled Up & Ready To Ride

I finally got old Tex over to the paint table for a little makeup. I really like this figure and some of you might recognize him if you happened to stop by our table at the Dayton show. I had his head and hat finished but completed the body Saturday afternoon while the show vacated due to the Ohio football game.

I really like this figure....think he's one of the best busts I've done. I won't call him a classic but he comes pretty close. With the base he sets about 10" tall so while just a bust he's still pretty impressive.

I hope you like him and your comments are always welcome. More photos in the gallery.

This is the project I'm taking along to the show in Dayton to hopefully complete but also to use in explaining the various techniques I used in making the videos should someone happen by ande ask a question. I haven't glued anything together yet so it can be taken apart to show how the brim of the hat, it's crown and the head all go together.

Everything is packed up and ready for the trip east. Will be taking along a bunch of pieces that I exhibited last year as I haven't been able to carve that much this year. Still, I think I'll have a pretty good exhibt.

Special note: I've added a new link on the right to the Vimeo video host site titled ...."Out West Videos". Clicking on this link will give you access to all the videos I've done without having to search through the Blog to find the various posts. A DVD of these videos is in the works but it may be a while before it's available so stay tuned.

Anyway, I hope you can make it to the Dayton show cause I know it's going to be a good one. I also hope you like Tex......he's going to be a good one too.
