Carved from
Basswood, he is 7 inches tall. I sealed the project with spray shelac and then colored

acrylic paint. Cowboy figures appeal to most everyone. These western characters represent
rugged
individuals. The body and face lend themsleves to rather gross exageration. Charlie's
bowed legs give
the impression that he has spent most of his life in the saddle. February 2002. |
