Hogsbreath's brother -- Bubba

[JoeVM]

Whatever you use it will be a great looking piece.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Terry, will have to use the no neck look on some other carvings.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Claude. Thanks zRam, he's not a handsome guy. Thanks Tinwood.

[JoeVM]

Sure is a nice Bear.

[JoeVM]

Mighty fine stick.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Bob, it might be out there somewhere.

[JoeVM]

Sure is a nice looking bird Merle. Your granddaughter will treasure it.

[JoeVM]

Thanks for your comments. Merle, maybe that big hat has weighted down his neck.
Woodburner, he must have lost a tooth down at the Mint Bar. He's a lot happier with the bottle instead of the rifle.
Tom, that would be OK after the bottle was empty. Bubba might go to Missoula too, don't...

[JoeVM]

Since Tom Ellis came up with the name of "Hogsbreath Hank", I couldn't think of anything better. So I just called this guy Bubba. Bubba is carved from Chris Hammack's pattern for Windy the Cowboy with a few modifications. Instead of a rifle, he's toting a bottle of Billy Bobs Best Likk...

[JoeVM]

Your hats are good Herb. They're fun, you can change a hat and change their occupation.

[JoeVM]

Good one Tom.

[JoeVM]

Your picture of the drawknife looks just like mine. I love it although I don't use it much.

[JoeVM]

Very good. Glad you are back to carving.

[JoeVM]

Very nice furry little bunny. Cut one out the other day, noticed the pattern problem too. You set the bar pretty high Tom. I'm still working on Hogsbreath Hank.

[JoeVM]

He does look happy. Wonder what he's smoking in that pipe....

[JoeVM]

Poor guy, maybe he got stepped on by a horse. But he sure has a nice shirt.

[JoeVM]

Right on, that caving is much better than shoveling snow.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Hobo.

[JoeVM]

Good carving. How do you suppose he got his name?

[JoeVM]

Thanks everyone. I hope this little scene gave a few smiles.
