This is a quest to make all the slides featured in the Whittlin Jim's "Slide of the Month" in Boy's Life magazine. (Hopefully without doing lasting damage to my hands or fingers.) Blogging my progress along the way. I completed my task in March of 2017 and now post my own designs along with some other "Slide of the Month" contributors.

Texas Longhorn
Summer 2016
Time to carve: 2 hours
Finishing: 2 hour
So one thing I discovered, there were a lot of steer head neckerchief slides that were published by Whittlin Jim and by this time I'm a bit steered out. This slide is made from a pine sapling and the horns are the branches. I cut the wood sometime in 2015 and let it dry for a year. The carving was straight forward and I painted with craft paint. It's sealed with a couple of coats of poly.
