Big Dude & lil' dude

[carvin don]

Haven't been knifin', in the buyin' sense lately, but I have been using my pocket knives to whittle with. Finally got around to finishing the big dude, been workin' on him on and off for about a year. Sometimes 'ya just gotta' say done is done. The lil' feller, I carved in a class I took 'bout a month ago. Hope y'all enjoy, I figured they tied into the "Favorite Western" post y'all got goin'

Don, I think you ought to be giving lessons, not taking them.

Your carvings get better all the time, and your painting/ decorating brings them to life !

You have some real natural talent for both.

The "little guy" is watching with approval as I type this.

Don,
I should have said before now but you do mighty fine work, and thanks for sharing them with us I sure enjoy looking at them. Keep on "carvin"

Two thumbs up Don!

I'd make a place for big dude on this mess I call a desk!

Don,

I'm not sure how I managed to miss this thread until now. Looks to me like you have been busy doing what you do so well. As always, your talent is a continual source of amazement to me. Fantastic job.

Phil

PS We miss seeing you round here. Don't stay gone so long.

I appreciate the kind words Fran, and I'm glad the "lil' feller" approves, I trust he's keepin' an eye on 'ya

Thanks Joe,Dave and Phil, for your kind words as well. Phil, things have been real hectic around the homestead lately, but I try to look in here when I can. Thanks again folks for the good thoughts.
