gamekeeper1960 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Started another little project over Christmas, a promise to an old friend of mine who is a butcher to make him a stick with a bulls head on top not something I've tried before but I'm willing to give anything a try (course you never know until you do) so this is how it's going still not quite happy with the throat area but slowly slowly is far better.will keep you posted as it comes along...DB...

Walker570 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 It is looking very good to me and you will always have problems with thick necked animals when trying to top a stick with them. Looking forward to seeing the finished item. Brilliant so far. Wish this was 60years ago as I would have had you make one for my father, cattle buyer and he would have loved that.

Walker570 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Looking good ..... maybe the photo blanking it out but expect to see a bit of curly hair down from the horn line maybe. Hopefully not grandmother teaching to suck eggs.. It just looks like a young bull at the moment in my view....aimi to be constructive.

He's a butcher so it's got to be under 30 months...😉 But thanks for pointing out what looks like a lack of curls just retextured the front part of the face so hopefully looks clearer.. DB...
