Default Bass egg birds

Here is a shot of my little bride's birds she carved and how she displayed them for Christmas. Her birds and Cottonwoodbark and some whatever they call it. The birds are hen size basswood eggs.
Why the little Cardinal my itself, I have no Idea. I guess because she doesn't like in even numbers. I guess.
Comments welcome, good or Bad

Hey Kenny, calling for comments good or bad? There aint nothin bad about those little birds. In fact the whole display is one that anyone would like. You tell your wife she has a winner there, and to keep carving...and sharing. Tom H

Looks great, Kenny - I bought that book at the Open House, but haven't had time to carve anything out of it. Your wife sets a tough standard for the rest of us!

The little bride says "Thank you all". She had a big smile when I read the rep;ies from all of you. However, she is also a big scrapbokker and has our son'e old bedroom and has converted it in to a scrapbook room with almost wall to wall shelving and tables and her PC, laminater Her new toys etc. She has more paper than Hobby Lobby. Well sure seems like it.
But she does like to carve a little also.
Yes she has her own tools. I had to buy some tools from Rick so as to be able to carve.

Thanks again, Iam sure you will see more of her work.
