Default Hummingbird & Flower &Buttterfly
Hi Folks
This is a project I've just completed it took me a while. The entire carving with the exception of the base is Basswood. The base I turned from Cherry. I carved it to fit the Glass chimney. When I brought it in from the shop my wife said that ones mine. So its now hers.
thanks for looking any comments welcomed
Larry

I appreciate all the comments folks, this was my first bird and I did'nt know which section to place it in. The Flower and the butterfly was bigger than the hummingbird so I placed it here.
thanks
Larry
