Smile Cottonwood bark cowboys
I did some carvings up for the FredOlfield Heritage Center during the Fair. The three cowboys weren't completly finished at the time that I took this picture. They did sell the smallest cowboy. Of course they were all finished by the time they were hung up! Last minute thats me! Thanks for looking!

Those are really nice! I love the way they emerge out of the bark.

Great job as always! If given the choice, don't think I could pick a favorite because they're all special! Thanks for the peek.

Hey Art:
You were very productive they look really good at this point and I'm sure even better after you finished them. Will we get a chance to see them finished? Hope so I do admire your workmanship. Congratulations, on the sale too!

Very nice Art. I never thought of carving a cowboy in bark. Guess I thought the hat brim might break off. Now I will have to try it. Do you strengthen it with CA?
