Cowboy Whiskey Bottle/Knife Holder

[carvin don]

Well, I figured I'd post a pic of a carving I did in 2006. Since I have no creativity whatsoever, I purchase carving books for not only "how-to" info but patterns as well. Just about everything I have carved is from someone else's design. These books have been invaluable to me as "tools" to become better at carving.

One of my books is by an exceptional Arizona carver named Dave Stetson
In the back of the book he has patterns and photos of various carvings he had done. I really took a liking to the one of a cowboy holding a whiskey bottle. I carved the following from a "roughout" (a pre-shaped blank) of Dave's carving. I decided to use him as a knife stand as well .
