The cowboy was an integral part of the old west. Much of life in
those times revolved around him. Not only did he act as a cow
nurse, herding, driving, and branding, but he also stacked hay, and
built corrals and barns. He should be remembered too for his
dedicated defense of the brand he rode for, even in the face of
death. The Saturday night shindigs wouldn't have been the same
without him either. Most cowboys couldn't dance a lick, but as long
as that little gal was in his arms, who cared what the feet were
doing! These cowboys were tough men. They were independent but when
needed they were there. A rare breed! To carve these qualities into
a face is indeed a challenge. Bob Lundy takes the carver through
three projects, The Cowboy, The Indian, and The Mountain Man. With
informative instructions (laced with a good deal of humor) and
clear photographs he goes from the raw wood to a finished,
realistic portrayal of these characters of the old west. A gallery
of 16 other figures is included to give the reader other ideas.
This book is written for both the beginner, who is looking for
complete how-to information from start to finish, and for the
veteran, who is interested only in a tip here and there to improve
their work. Lundy approaches his work with an eye for the
personality of the characters. He will instill that sensitivity to
the reader, giving the carver a feeling of closeness and intimacy
with the people who emerge from the wood.
