Campfire Cowboy With Gun And Saddle

Dad finished my new campfire cowboy today complete with gun and saddle. It’s a little different than the others because it has shell casings for the sticks instead of copper tubing. Dad wanted to try something a little different. It looks awesome!
Dad is quite talented. My gun has oak that dad painstakingly sanded. I think it took him two days alone just to do the sanding on the wood. Dad has been working on these cowboys for over three months. The saddle and the gun require a lot of work. Several days for each one.
Each cowboy is unique and turned out awesome. He made one for each of his kids. So we all got an early/late birthday present!
Thanks Dad! I love it!

  2. YOU'RE WELCOME TAMMY. I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU LIKE THE HORSESHOE COWBOY. A LOT OF LOVE WENT INTO THAT, BUT THERE SURE IS A LOT OF LOVE LEFT OVER WHERE THAT CAME FROM. YOU KIDS SURE DO DESERVE A LOT MORE THAN SOME OLD HORSESHOES, BUT THAT IS WHAT THIS OLD COWBOY ENJOYS MAKING...HA.
