New "Oilfield Trash" Seat

[womack32]

Just started on this one the other day. I am fifth generation oilfield trash so I came up with this design. The center piece was silhouetted from the roughneck statue at Texas A&M University. Feedback is highly welcome.

And if you are not sure if you are oilfield trash, you're not!

fine looking start..................(ps i grew up in BRYAN, IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING).

Of course I am oilfield trash, and proud of it. Dad was an oil field pumper in Southern Illinois until the fields went dry. I grew up around roust-abouts, pulling machines, spudders, oil derricks, pump jacks, Fairbanks engines, water floods, gas torch lights, oil tanks, heaters, and probably have crude still running through my veins. Grandfather on Mother's side was a mule-skinnin' oil driller until he fell over dead of a heart attack at about my current age. He ended up in Moran, Texas. I have a lot of relation in Albany & Abilene, although I am a Hoosier (nick name for someone in Indiana) import.

By the way, nice image of the seat. Good job.

Yes sir it sure does. I work with an auctioneer named Buck Buchanan in Bryan. Good to hear from you and thanks for the comment.

Mr. Ramsey, thank you for the reply. It is good to hear from you and it sounds like you are very proud of your heritage, as I am. I am just a young man but the oilfield has given me the opportunity to do some pretty neat things, which includes working in two of the biggest oilfield states in the nation (Alaska and Texas). The oilfield can wear you out sometimes but I don't have any regrets and have made a lot of friends along the way. Thanks again for writing and I hope all is well.

Lost my first response - sorta new to this. I've got a lot of fond childhood memories of the oil field in Southern Illinois. My folks are gone now, but I'm proud of having been raised by a good, honest, hard working, and loving family. People can call a group what they wish, but it's what is in the heart that counts, not the prestiege of position, wealth and physical things that are corrupted. I don't know if I lost the first response or not, but will see when I add the reply. I tried to attache a piece of my work. If it doesn't show up, I'll post it again.
