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


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.

​​​​Ventriloquist David Turner and ​Friends


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.

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

Jimmy Durante is all wood even his hair.

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

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

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

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

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