Good on the both of you!
I haven't named the old mountain men yet, but he will get a name shortly.

Uncle Russ...

Old Hoss I think that is a good name Joe, and the carver did a good job on him.
Still don't know what I'm going to name the old Mountain Man I have.

I kinda like things to name themselves, if ya get my drift.
So far nothing exciting has happened, he's just hanging out on the wall.
But soon....

Well Russ, Ol'Hoss got his name because I said to Cindy (when hanging him on an available wall nail) "Ol'Hoss ought'a go good right here!" And he did!  :bl th up
