Default Road Agents At Prairie Dog Junction!

You seems to like the Country Doctory so here is another with even more action! I've created a Blog posting with an explantion of this scene along with a few other detailed photos. Took me about a year and a half to put this one together. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Great job!!

So this now begs the question, the more you show the bigger the scene gets, is this the largest scene you've created?

Wish we could see a picture of the prairie dog on the stump, look like he's surrendering!!

I saw it in person at the Tulsa woodcarving show. The photo does it no where close to justice. The details are great and too many to mention here. Absolutely great!!! You expect one of the holdup agent's guns to fire at any moment.

I think I seen this piece a few years ago at Dollywood,the pictures don't do the carving any justice,you need to see it to really appreciate the detail.

Garon and Mark are correct, Photos don't do this one justice.

The little critter is indeed holding his hands up, Cute addition to the scene but the expression on it's face is the kicker. I spent a lot of time looking this one over at the Tulsa Show and even went back the next day to meet Garon and look at the carvings again. There is so much that you can't see every detail that Lynn puts in to his scenes.
Just fantastic!
