Let It Snow

What better way to start the holiday season then with some snow. As long as you don't have to travel in it!

This is made from a piece of poplar, the snowman is a separate piece of wood. The shovel handle and head are carved, the shaft is a piece of brass wire.

Cowboy Boot on Fence Post

Evidently in some states out west there's a tradition of putting old cowboy boots on fence posts. Some of these nutty cowboys have hundreds of boots on miles of fence posts. One guy in Oklahoma has over 600 pairs of boots on his fence posts.

Cowboy boot superstition says that a cowboy boot on a fence post means someones at home.

I couldn't find a definitive meaning behind putting the boots on the fence posts.

It also seemed appropriate to add a Western Fence Post lizard.

The boot and lizard are carved out of Poplar.

A new carving based on a few pictures I found on the web. I pictured the donkey wearing his sombrero going on a trip. So where would a donkey go? Obviously south of the border, and this ones headed to Boy's Town. Nothing like being the star of your own Donkey Show!
