Here is a little Cowboy bust that I finished today. He'd better tuck in that hair he's so proud. Should look pretty neat once it's painted.

Looks good Lynn, just curious, did you use a wood burner on it?

Not to sure about this one? Maybe "only his hairdresser knows for sure?" lol

Neat hombre Lynn.

Mel, I am not Lynn.Yes Lynn used a burner to seperate theprats of the piece so the paint will not bleed over on to the next.Learned that in his Hour long seminar at the Tulsa Carving show.

Great carving Lynn! Really enjoy the detail you put into the pieces. I also think the burning really sets it off. My wife bought me a razortip for Father's day that I have yet to use because I just moved and am trying to get settled in. Any tips on burning caricatures???

Re Burning in Details.....I mainly burn in the lines that seperate the areas of different color. I also highlight any deep creases to give them added emphasis. One thing you don't want to do, from my perspective anyway, is to overdo it. Good luck.

Nice job! I love the horseshoe at the base!

[Blake Lunsford]

Thanks Lynn! I will see how that works on my carvings! I appreciate you sharing your work on here!

Lynn ,

How do you know when you over do it?

And yes I like him reminds me of the sidekick in the old movies where his hair was in his face all the time.
