Default Bluebird from scrap

Here's a bluebird that I've had finished for a few days but hadn't got around to posting it till now. I made it out of one of the scraps from when I cut out the last bluebird that I made. It's basswood painted with acrylics.

Dylan that is great nice to see what people can make out of the scraps. Better than putting it into the landfill.

Nice idea Dylan, and a neat carving. Those scraps make great small carvings and are good practice. How big/small is it?
