Zuma:
Ruddy
Stetting those big natural horns in a wooden bust would be
a tremendous challenge. And for me, to even imagine
getting them in my hands would be wishfull thinking.
I would have to carve the curl with and against the grain.
And then try to give them a symmetrical and layered/scaled look.
Kind of intimidating for this country boy.
But hot damn, like the White Buffalo it would be awesome.
Thanks for your support and interest.
I wish I would have learned the fleur-de-lis by a master
in the begining. Oh well.

Ruddy Darter:
I certainly see the horns being a major challenge Zuma, definitely great fun to attempt though.  ;D 8)
I hope that goes well for you and look forward to seeing it, (be cool to see how you go about it in the stages of production.)
 Yep, getting taught by a master is a whole heap better, all the bad habits I got must slow the whole thing down, like self taught driving old habits can be hard to break. Glad I got the sharpening techniques nailed though, things are a whole lot better.
(I got a little more bow work to finish up, taken a little longer than expected, and then back on the carving, hope to post updates in the next few days. My carvings feel somewhat dinky now.  ;D

Zuma:
No doubt about sharp tools Ruddy. ;)
Don't worry about the dinky aspect. :)
If you can do that then massive is a piece of cake. O:)
We made it down to the Rodin exhibit today.
Great time. I'll try to get some photos up soon.

Zuma:
 Here are some photos from the museum.
Rodin is not all that primitive so I'll only include a
few of his works.
We also took in some other really primitive work
you might enjoy.
