| | “Hunting Strays” finished part1 I started this project March 1st and just finished it this weekend. 10 weeks on one project is a long time. This little guy has developed from the hundreds of photos that Lynn Doughty has supplied us over the last 3 years. The cowboy measures 12-1/2” tall without the base. The entire unit including the base is 14” tall. I think the toughest part was trying to get that rope to look right in his left hand. It just about made me pull the rest of my hair out. Thanks Lynn, thanks so much. Myron

| | Re: “Hunting Strays” finished part1 Let's see now.....free Mexican meal out west at Jim's ......and this cowboy ought to be worth something, wonder what Ohio is noted for. Probably more Mexican restaurants like every place else these days.
That's a terrific carving Myron. Really nice. I see you even got the watch chain.
Neat! |

| | Re: “Hunting Strays” finished part1 Myron, that is one sweet cowboy. As others have said, the detail is great. Gives incentive to finish a few more of the carvings I have sitting in boxes.
