Cedar sculpture of the famous painting “End of Trail”. This is a 3 dimensional hand crafted wood sculpture in cedar with a pine base and finished with tung oil. This is serialized #0003 and signed by the artist. I made this from a professional made plan but the sculpting is of my own creation. I used a dremel tool with carbide tips which worked very well on the western red cedar because it is so soft. I think the neat thing about this project is that you can display it under various light conditions and each will give it a totally diferent perspective in regard to shadow lines and color hues. It was a fun project and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for something in woodworking that will also allow you to apply your own artistic touch.
Dimensions: 14”x8”x10 1/2”

That is my favorite western scene and you have captured the spirit of the original perfectly.
The scene speaks to all of us who for what every reason, sense the end of an era.
Well done

I agree with Bob – your perspective in your creation of the “End of Trail”, is a artistic view point that you have displayed your ability with. Very good job!
