Another %$#@ brag (sigh)

I think I mentioned some time ago, don't remember why, that I made a donation of some items to a local museum, the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center, in Duncan. The only provision I asked for was that the items be put on display and not stashed in some dark, dusty corner and forgotten. They agreed and here is the result. I think they did a very nice job with the display.

Outstanding Work there Wolf!

Great carving, but who is that ugly dude that horned in on the photo?

[Jeff Skory]

Very cool Wolf! Nothing like giving people the opportunity to see you stuff in person. Pictures are one thing but seeing a carving up close is much more special.

[Joe Suelter]

Cool, congratulations Wolf. Great looking display, very tasteful.

[Ken Garlock]

Excellent Wolf :) They have assembled a fine display which is in itself a tribute to your work.

I don't know, Mac, that is kind of an ornery looking dude. SWMBO says he looks like a real sour puss, too.

Those are some nice carvings, my BIL is a pretty good wood carver he also enjoys the Western figures. He has even taught a class or two that I have attended, I am not anywhere his league.

Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, that ain't your cowboy buddy in the museum. That is a portrait carving of Jesse Chisholm. Your pal, "Saturday Night - Shined, Showered and Shaved" is sitting in my home gallery.

However, to give you hope, I spoke to the museum curator a couple of days ago when I complimented him on the nice display job they did. I told him that later on in the year, or maybe early part of next year, I may give him the other three cowboy busts in that series, of which the Jesse Chisholm bust as well as your pal are a part, and have the entire series of four back together on display.

I am planning on doing one more cowboy bust but it will be entirely different from that series and then I will probably stop doing them. I just purchased the wood for it a couple of weeks ago.
