AMERICAN BISON "BUFFALO BILL"

 

BUFFALO BILL was carved from Tupelop wood with power carving bits. I conceived the image from a wood burning that I did of a buffalo lying down viewed from the rear. I had to use my imagination, as is the case with all art, in actually laying it out and carving. After sanding it with a power sand bit, I brushed on Danish Walnut stain and Woodmin stain in oak and ebony. I painted the horns and nose with a slightly different black-gray. It was a fun project.  Finished on 7 July 2025.
