The carving is great . I really like the base and surroundings also . Real nice .

[Tom Park]

Nice work Paul. The bird looks great and the habitat is very appropriate. I am especially interested in the exploded cattails as I have done some work in that area. Whatever technique you are using you have achieved a very realistic look. Thanks for posting.

Paul you did a lot of work on this carving, nice job.

[Paul Adkins]

Thanks for the comments. Tom I should have given credit for the cattails. I got that from the article that you did in W.C.mag. Thanks for the idea.

Nice job all around. Is the clear water just a puddle of epoxy or something more exotic. I wondered too about the exploded cattails (have seen Tom Park's excellent article - but haven't worked anything up yet).

Looks like another great piece of work. I hope to be able to come to the next meeting ,if this snow takes a break for awhile. Keep warm and safe.
