Eight seconds!! That's all it takes holding on by one hand to a bucking, swirling, kicking bull to earn a qualified ride and maybe a share of that rodeo's prize money. Yet, we have been to countless rodeos out west in towns with names like Jackson Hole, Cody, Heber City and Columbia Falls where not one cowboy makes it even close to the eight seconds. It is man against bull and more times than not, the bull comes out the winner. So, when you make the eight, it is great !! Truly, the Toughest Sport On Dirt. Freehand design from photos my wife took of me, band sawed, hand carved (over a three year period). Finished with boiled linseed oil, water based washes for color, sealed and liquid wax.
