Phillip Coffey - At The Mall

By Phillip Coffey

Rehabilitating in the 'Rest and Recharge' recliner.
Oh, old cheap me - sure to not spend my quarters
On the luxury that has coaxed me fervently to settle.

Sam Judd, Adair Co. folk artist extraordinaire

By JIM

Sam Tilden Judd, just plain Sam to all who knew him, had an affinity for wood. He became a house carpenter and developed a reputation for doing the job right whether it be framing, masonry, or plastering. In the winter of 1918, a few years past his 40th birthday, a photograph caught his attention and inspired him to put knife to wood and create his own art, an avocation he soon mastered and enjoyed for the rest of his life.

In a 1950 interview with Courier-Journal feature writer Thomas Miller, Jr., Sam related that his first effort was a likeness of Rodin's "The Thinker," based on a magazine picture. In the ensuing 30+ years, he created hundreds of items, generally using only his pocket knife. Some of his favorite motifs included Abraham Lincoln (mostly on pipes and walking sticks), animals, and religious objects. At the time of the interview, his personal collection consisted of 72 items, including a yoke of oxen hitched to a cart, an Abraham Lincoln cane, a likeness of Daniel Boone with his trusty long rifle (Old Tick Licker), and the pioneer travelers mentioned below. He had sold or given away untold numbers more.

It didn't take Sam many years to hone his craft as a folk artist. A short article in The Lexington Leader in the spring of 1925, read thus:
