Wisconsin Badgers’ “Bucky” Wood Carving

I'm working on this scupture for a customer in Wisconsin in 20 degrees. Love it!

Some times people surprise me with their enthusiasm for the home team. In this case it was the Wisconsin badgers.  A Wisconsin fan Jim Keene was surfing the net for wood carvings. He stumbled across Jordan’s Custom my main website for shopping, bio, and the gallery.

He asked me if I could carve a Wisconsin badger for his porch.  I said that it would take some time for an exact copy with the scaling involved for a 4 foot Wisconsin badger, but It can be done.  He said lets do it, so I started and gave him progress photos of the wood carving in stages. I think it was a good choice to leave some of it unpainted.  “It appears that anything is possible when you put some effort into it” said Jim.  He really liked it.  I think its funny because I am a die hard Minnesota Gophers fan.  I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be doing a “badger”.  It was fun though.  It gave me a challenge for the winter.  I shipped it out to him today actually!
