“I've been a fan of Waylon since I was 10, and that's when I started carving, too. I watched my dad whittle, and so I tried it. I basically taught myself; I went to a few shows and asked a few questions, but I never took a class.”
“My brother and I used to ride around in a half-ton cattle truck, listening to Waylon, so when he died, my brother told me, 'Man, you've got to do it. I've always wanted to carve him since I've been listening to him. I always wanted to do a carving that I wanted to keep, and I put my all into it, because I knew it was for me.”
“My favorite song is 'I've Always Been Crazy,' because people tell me I'm crazy everything I tell them I want to do something like this. And maybe I am, but that's OK. I do what I want to do, just like Waylon and Shooter.”
