Ross Carr's Duff Tweed Collection

Weeeeee're baaaaack, and obviously you are too if you're reading this.  Welcome back!


One of the advantages of having a blog on a particular subject is that persons with similar interests have a way of finding and contacting you.  We were recently contacted by a collector who shared he had 13 different Duff Tweed carvings and was looking to sell all but one of them.  


The collector is Ross Carr and this is his Duff Tweed collection.  We at Duff Tweed Carvings have purchased six carvings from Ross so far and are in discussion to purchase another two or three.  Upon completing our first purchase, Ross shared two identical golfer carvings we had never seen. Once we have purchased the other carvings, we will edit this blog to include the newest editions from Mr. Carr's collection.


Now let's start sharing.  Below is a set of three golfers never displayed in this blog.  All the carvings from Ross's collection are in excellent shape with very clean backgrounds.  Ross was obviously collecting years before we got started.  Ross and I are both Aquarians and born 6 days apart from one another, so maybe we're destined to collect Duff's work.

Attempted to enlarge picture, but it get's cut off and you can only see two golfers, sorry!

We would normally comment on each piece, but as there are so many, we thought we'd simply share them and let you see the Carr Collection.  Ross, like myself has a love affair with golf.  Luckily, he collected Duff Tweed's golfer carvings so we get to benefit by adding new and unseen carvings to the Duff Tweed Carvings collection.  


Below is another golfer individually framed and signed.

F O R E!

The next and last golfer carving below is one you have seen before in this blog, but he is holding a perfect golf iron as opposed to the not so perfect one previously pictured months ago. His paint is cleaner and unmarked.  

He is affectionately named The Happy Golfer.

The last of the carvings we received is the famous SUE THE BASTARDS carving pictured below.

Now, the carvings in the picture below are from Ross's collection, but have not yet been shipped.  

Pictured from top row right to left: Golf Caddy - Happy Golfer - Grim Golfer (All in Plexi-Glass), Double Jigger Jack Grant

Pictured from bottom row right to left: Damn I'm Good (tennis), Laughing Golfer in Red, Laughing Golfer in Green and the Sailor/Yachtsman.

 A HUGE SHOUT OUT AND OUR SINCEREST THANKS TO ROSS CARR FOR NOT ONLY SHARING HIS COLLECTION, BUT FOR ALLOWING US TO ADD ALMOST ALL HIS CARVINGS TO THE DUFF TWEED AND RUST TRAP RANCH COLLECTIONS.  THANK YOU ROSS! 

Did you notice we mentioned Ross sold us all but one Duff Tweed carving?  We knew you noticed!  You're good that way! 

Of course, it was our favorite, but honestly, we're glad Ross is keeping it.  It was the first Duff Tweed carving Ross purchased and has a great deal of sentimental value to him.

So, without further adieu, here's Duff Tweed's Drinking Fisherman.  It's sooooo cooooool!

"Calling John the Fisherman"...sorry for my Primus quip, but it's a fav.

Hope you enjoyed this post and all the wonderful carvings shared with us by Ross Carr.

Looking forward to sharing more Duffy tales in the future.

All the best!
