17 Nightwatchman $1, The Nightwatchman was a piece done with total complacency in my studio. The piece originally started as a study on a Remington bronze, with some modifications.

This may be my favorite of all the pieces I ve sculpted.

21 The Golf Clubs $ Each The Golf Clubs started out as a project to make a golf club that I could actually hit the ball straight. The steer horns on club #1 were actually guides to help swing the club head straight. The guides emerged into steer horns, a steer head putter, and eventually the Wagon Wheel and Horsehead irons that followed. These clubs have not been PGA approved.

22 Boot On Arrowhead $ Boot on Arrowhead. This piece originated in the classrooms of Elida Schools, as I taught there in the early 90 s.

A strong piece with a light touch of humor.
