Default Hawk to go with Wild Boar
Here are a few photos of the Red Tail Hawk.

I posted the photos of the Wild Boar last week. If you missed the first post, some details are listed below. I will probably start the Black Bear next.


I have a commission to carve 5 pieces for a hutch. They will applique to the doors. 9" dia. x 1 1/2" thick. Carved from Alder.

The subjects are: a wild boar; buck; hawk; black bear and a fox. I can choose whatever representation of the subject I want to carve (not as easy as it sounds). This evolves pattern making and development.

That's a neat approach to bringing the hawk out of the wood...almost carved completely around. Not a bird carver but that is one nice hawk.

Great job on the hawk. You did a nice job of giving it depth, I would have never guessed it was only 1.5 inches thick. Can't wait to see the next one
