Harold Enlow's "Rufus"

I expect that there have been quite a few photos of this figure posted here over the years. It's really is a classic and Harold Enlow is one of my favorites. Anyway, here is my version ready to paint. Thanks for looking!

That is fantastic. I am sure you would be making Mr Enlow proud. Good job. Where did you find the pattern for that. I have been around the block twice and have never seen that one before.

I can't believe it, you posted this about an hour ago and it is already indexed on Google! No grass growing under their feet, huh?

Hi Bob,
You can get the pattern out of Enlow's book "Carving Figure Charicatures in the Ozark Style".

Great resource.

Thanks Bob, yup that is the book. Great book and Rufus's wife is in there as well

Hey Corey, great job on a neat little guy. I did one almost the same a while back, I particularly like the eyes on those, they don't exist, that suits me fine (smile)
