Re: Big Cowgirl

Mind blowing great!
I really like the added color to make it all pop without taking over.

Re: Big Cowgirl

I agree with all of the above and have to say you have created one of the most unusual and visually arresting pieces I have ever seen! What you did with the wood grains and textures is beyond fabulous!

Re: Big Cowgirl

Wow! That is quite a carving. She is well dressed and I like her gunbelt and buckle.

I wonder if she is calling her horse or chewing out her cowboy. LOL.

I like it. A great job.
