Wow, that was cool! Thanks Corey.
The piece named, 'Gramps', was freaky realistic.

What I like is that the faces he carves are very individualized. None of them look the same. Without a doubt, he is a very talented carver. Thanks for sharing, Corey!

I would guess at that price and obvious quantity they are reproductions. That doesn't take away the quality though. Nice.

Very nice site! I've never seen any of his work either. Tried to Google him but not much there either. Must be hiding out in those Texas hills. By the looks of the bottlestoppers he must attach those hats. Really liked the two full figure carvings I could find on the site. However, the one being presented to the President looks awlfully similar to one done by Gene Zesh but that's okay....his is much better.
