[carvin don]

I've been usin' my Case medium congress w/ CV blades alot lately, I really like it Been usin' it to whittle on this cowboy stopper. (I'm still waitin' for Case to put out a Seahorse Whittler with CV blades, I'd sure 'preciate that) Anywhoo, here he is ...

That looks cool Don! Can't wait to see it finished

I like the Case CV's in Dark Red Bone

Phil, Barry is right, "it's homegrown and hand rolled." And if he don't enjoy smokin' it, he can chaw on it By the way Barry, is his brother behavin' down there? Hope y'all are enjoyin' him

[carvin don]

Thanks for your kind words stagman, I'll have to keep 'ya in mind on my next cowboy stopper.

Barry, looks like Ol' Bubba is doin' just fine

Here is my current one painted up...

And here's a full figured cowboy I've been carvin' on and off for a bit, along with my new tool box.

[philco]

Uhhhhhhh Don...................

Can't help but notice those bottles are all empty.


Those stoppers didn't stop someone!


Phil

PS That newest cowboy and the newly painted stopper both look great.

[stagman]

Thanks Don
I appreciate it.
Bighead, I am envious
Really looks good all painted up
And Don, I just found a very old pard of mine
an old John Primble congress, he was really
happy to get it. Very handy pattern, that congress

Stagman, the congress pattern is one of my favorites too

Phil, In all honesty, the strongest thing I drink is Soda-Pop, I'm a lightweight. But I figured those Cowboy stoppers are tough dudes and should be displayed accordingly I'm always on the lookout for interesting looking bottles to display the stoppers, so if you ever come across any, please let me know. The whiskey bottles are a perfect display for these wranglers, and I'd love to get hold of one of those old moonshine jugs I probably need to go to an antique shop or two to find such things. Anyways, thanks for lookin' and all the nice compliments!

Oh, by the way, what's 'ya got cookin' in your new avatar? Looks like it smells real good!

Don I think I was cooking a mess of cornbread chili when I took that picture. I like to cook outside, on the grill, in a smoker, and best of all in a Dutch oven like your old cowboys used. I took those pictures for a newspaper article I was working on about Dutch Oven cooking. Did you know you can cook darned near anything in a Dutch Oven?

Phil

[islander]

Don; You can find those moonshine jugs on ebay
look under whiskey jugs. Great work on the stopper

Cornbread chili Is that spicy? I like cornbread, but not so much chili, the stuff never has agreed with me. You must be one heckuva' cook though, Phil, cause I sure enjoyed the tomato thread you posted, but unfortunately, again, they don't seem to like me either I'm a pretty bland eater, no spice in my food life

Islander, Thanks for the info. about the jugs, I forget about ebay, I will have to take a look and see what they've got. I know those jugs can come in various sizes, It'll be interesting to see what's offered. And thanks so much for your kind words about the stopper!

Don, it's kinda like your love life, it's as hot and spicy as you choose to make it.

I got to where I couldn't eat anything without getting a bad case of heartburn. Finally went to the doc and got some medicine to take care of the problem. Now I can eat darned near anything without any problem.

[carvin don]

Sound advice, Phil. And yes, Zantac for me, can be a pretty good friend at times
