Default Another Carving completed

Hi Folk's,
This is the year that I clean up all those partially completed carvings we all have kicking around. This little Avocet has been on a shelf for many years. In fact, it was completed with my good friend Bob Lavender before he moved west to Saskatchewan a few years ago. It has needed feet to be complete , so here it is finally finished.
Now I am ready to tackle the big pieces with Colin at Ridgway next week.
I just can't wait to get my hands on my new Redmax chainsaw.


Bob
