A friend of mine that has been carving at my shop for quite a few years now just finished up this Eagle staff. We cut the blank from an old piece of walnut about a month before christmas. He brought it back over the shop many times as he was working on it. Well he finally got it done. Darn Good job if I must say so myself. Now I just need to convince him.

Goody ,
THANKS FOR POSTING THESE!!!!!!

Bob really did a nice job on it. So you know I saw these while he was working on it, the bid is about 4and 1/2 inch Dia. and the staff about 1and 3/4. With some really burled areas.

Tell him , I still have room for it =)

Black Walnut! Wow!

Goody, your friend has accomplished a very good carving. It is difficult to incorporate a bird, like an eagle, into the head of a staff that could actually see a lot of use. This one could actually see heavy use in the field.

I also like the inclusion of the feathers and rocks.

Goody,
Very nice! If he doesn't think so he can give it to me...well, I'll get in line 'cause I'm sure everyone that sees it would love to have it!
