Bpardue Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I was able to FINALLY finish the large piece I have been working on for a client. The Cowboy & The Trail Begins both designs are by JGR but I motified them to combine them into 1 piece. the are right at 350 pieces give or take. it measures 5'6" long and at its tallest piont (tips of the feathers) 34". Woods used are: Sapale, aromatic cedar, spanish cedar, walnut, cherry, maple, mahogney, poplar, Peruvin Walnut, Peru Amarillo, Purpleheart and I'm sure there are a few others but can't remember. Thanks for the comments in advance. bobscroll, Gordster, MTCowpoke22 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordster Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Brian,that is out and out beautiful.The buttons must be popping off of your shirt. The wood you used and the shaping is 2nd to none. That is a museum piece for sure. Lucky2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 A stupendous piece of artistry Brian. I greatly admire your patience and determination, if it was me, I would have slung it to the other end of the street after the fist hour. Just beautiful Brian. You should be well proud of that piece of work, and hope we see some more of your magic. Rob Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 A masterful piece of work! My only comment would be when you take pictures of your work, use a nicer background. It deserves better than a garage door. Would make your piece look even better. Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpardue Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 No how everything is held together there is a 2 piece back made from 1/4 ply. There are 2 hangers on the back one behind the cowboy & one behind the Indian. The rope was added to hide some raising shims across the bottom. I is going on display in a private collection here in NC. The owner of the piece is picking it up this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
