Finally!!

[Scrappile]

Been working on these for a couple months, off and on. I did the Native Americans one sometime back, but wanted to so it again with the bark edge wood.  When I was working on it I spotted another Charles Dearing pattern, the cowboy one.  So I started it after the I finished the NA.  Just seemed like they needed to go together.  The Cowboys was a major accomplishment for me.  I did it with my Hegner, using 2/0 FD Penguin Silver blades.  First time I have figured out how to use the Hegner with the small blades.Now I am a Hegner fan...

 

Basswood approx. 12" x 10" Basswood is so soft, have to be sooo careful.

They are amazing Paul ,have often looked at those patterns but have not found the courage to tackle them so far.

[heppnerguy]

Very impressive, my friend. You have a couple of really great pieces. We need to get together again soon and have lunch again. We have not been your way for awhile but really should do that soon.

amazing, thank you for sharing

Excellent work! I agree that they are a pair that belong together. Are these for you?  How thick are the slabs? Charlie Dearing is a great designer. 

[Be_O_Be]

  Awesome, choice of woods lends itself to these patterns. Beautiful work!

Excellent work! I agree that they are a pair that belong together. Are these for you?  How thick are the slabs? Charlie Dearing is a great designer. 

 

For now they are for me.  The slabs are around 1/4" thick.  I bought some slabs that were around 1" to 11/4" thick and re-sawed and planed them.  Next time I will go a little thicker.  I like Charles' patterns and Mike Williams' also.

 

Thank you all for the nice comments.  Make it worth while to me.
