Default 4 Eagles in Progress

I started these Eagles about a month ago and stopped to do the Canes. Started back with them today and thought you might like to see them in progress. They are 7"x5"x1", Basswood, they are going to be painted with Acrylic paint and hope I don't mess them up. They will be hung on my fun wall with the rest of my fun pieces. Merle

Hi Forrest, You know I like my Eagles. My painting will not hold a candle to yours but when I take it's picture I'll hold the camera farther back so you can't see my mistakes. Ha,Ha. Thanks Ole Friend for your encouraging words they are always appreciated. Stay Well Ole Friend. Merle

Hi Alan, When I saw the picture I felt that I had to try and carv it. If I can make it half as good as the picture I will be happy. Thanks for commenting. Merle
