OOAK Intricately Hand Carved Wooden Big Tooth Cowboy Carving Gerald Sears 12.5

  
This OOAK intricately hand-carved wooden Big Tooth Cowboy Caricature Carving by artist Gerald Sears stands at 12-1/2 inches tall with a base width of 3-3/8 inches and a base depth of 2-7/8 inches. The sculpture features a whimsical design showcasing a very detailed cowboy carving with large white teeth. Made in the United States, this carved wood piece captures the essence of cowboy culture and Western themes with its intricate details and one-of-a-kind style. I live in the beautiful Ozarks of Southwest Missouri, with my wife, Barbara. As of August this year, we will be married 50 years. I have been a woodcarver for over 40 years, and a woodcarving seminar instructor for over 25 years. Growing up, I was always interested in art in one form or another. There I learned how to use and sharpen tools, and how to "feel" the grain of the wood. I like to carve detail and to carve authenticity. If I put chaps on a cowboy, they are authentic. A Hawken rifle is identifiable as a Hawken rifle. I take a lot of pride in a nice, well done carving, and my collectors appreciate that.
