| | Re: Ol' Brushy Bill No commission, just whittled him this past Tuesday during a local carvers gabfest. Painted him and turned the base yesterday. A real quicky!!
The glasses are made from wire, bent to shape, soldered, painted and then inserted into holes. |

| | Re: Ol' Brushy Bill Great piece. I like the feather and beaded hatband. Not sure how you carved that during a carvers gabfest. I tend to pay all my attention to carving, because if I don't I wind up bloody ;O). The cowboy bottlestopper I carved from your pattern took me at least 10 hours to finish so I won't win any prizes for speed. I am thankful you have that ability, because we will get to see your results that much sooner. Thanks for sharing.
