Brushpopper Bill

[Lynn O. Doughty]

Here's a bust I just completed carving. He's going to Chicago to occupy the top spot on a Bottle-Stopper Christmas tree that another artist is constructing. This guy collects bottlestoppers from all over the world and then assembles these fantastic constructions involving hundreds of different stoppers. This new one will be all Cowboys with old Bill being the "King of the Cowboys"! I'll try and send a photo once it's finished.

Comments welcome and more photos later on the Blog.

Lynn,
it's hard to keep up with you..... you are a very prolific carver and your work is outstanding. Usually these to qualities don't go together. You can be good or you can turn out a lot of work but not usually both. I am amazed.
keep up the good work. Can't wait to see this one finished. Love it.
