Here you will find a few steps I take in making a face. Seeing a happy face makes my dad smile too! Note: yes, that is a mop on her head.

Jimmy Durante is all wood even his hair.

and now ....a bunch of random photos of wooden friends I made in my life.

Tad Short waiting for his wife, Ima Short, to be made.  Now they both just sit , wasting the day away, watching TV.

Johnny started with many pictures  of his face glued on poster board.  Jeff Duham talks to David and Johnny at a convention.

​​​​Ventriloquist David Turner and ​Friends​

Making of Eric the Zombie. I used storm door springs in the arms.

Who says women are complicated   ....   I can see right through them.

​Willie Nelson was one of my first figures I carved out of wood. I had to use bleach to lighten up his hair. I carried Willie to my first ventriloquist convention in 1995.

Harley loves motorcycles just like Mike Wolfe from "American Pickers".

No, that is not an accordion in his mid-section , it's a toilet plunger.  This one I used wood stain instead of paint.
