Default Little Birde's latest

Here are a couple of carvings, my little bride completed. First one is Cotton Wood with sunflowers, rock wall and trutle heading to water. The next oneis of here egg Blue Birds setting and nesting on cottonwood bark base.
As usual, comments welcomed, good or bad. Now the photographer isn't a good one for sure.

Kenny, I think the little bride is a keeper! I can't even get my wife to look at tools let alone carve. I like the way she used the cottonwood with the blue birds.

Well CarvrtRog, That was part of a piece I was going to carve in. But,,,,,,, she done used the Compound miter saw and chopted the end off. That is one thing I admire about her, she isn't afraid to try anything crafty or try to carve. The only thing is she can't carve for long, Arthritist in her hands.
Tools, well she would be the first to get some that is for sure. She knows what to get also. Yep, I am blest with a Tool loving wife.

Ken you are funny Your wife did a really nice job! Love both pieces. I love to hear about women who like tools too not afraid to break a nail. I am really bad about that, used to be into fixing up MGs and I would go get a manicure then come home and decide to rebuild a carb. I have always been hopeless.

Kenny sounds like she did a great job. Better watch out your tools will disappear and reappear as her's.
