Man! I wish I could carve like that! Everytime I start carving, they always end up as Pointed Sticks.

Barry, I'm impressed with that Snoozin' Cowboy.
Very nice work.
Did you show what kind of knife you used?

Thanks guys! I appreciate all of your comments!

Joe, if you look at the third and fifth picts, you can see some of the carving tools I used. They consist of about a dozen different knives, gouges, scorps and veiner tools. I discovered I could have used a couple more that I don't have to reach some difficult areas. They all need to be kept very sharp by frequent stropping.

Don, the Henry Taylor tools I picked up at a garage sale. They were all quite dull and I had to reprofile the edge bevels. They are sharp now and seem to hold an edge OK so far, probably not as good as some but better than others.

Really super work i like your subject and
your finish. I have ashley iles peter benson
detail tools that i use that are really nice.
keep carving and posting.
