John,
I am very impressed with your accuracy of detail in capturing Howdy's likeness. A great job and something you can be proud to say you created.

Howdy is done!



Howdy Doody dressed and ready

Howdy's boots are made of black leather over carved pine shoes with real shoe sole on the bottom and white leather tops over cardboard tubes as well.

You can almost hear him saying "Ho Ho! It's great to be here!"
