Haven,t posted in a long time,i just finished this piece for a customer,he has seen these two birds together at his feeder,and ordered it this way,the bird feeder is hand made,with real bird seed glued in,both birds are lifesize,this is a first for me,carving a piece like this,and it gave me some good ideas for future projects,milford.

WOW your work is excellent! I love the idea of using real bird seed and not trying to duplicate with paint.

Terrific, good composition and "feathering". Are the feet hand made or lead, oils or acrylic?

thanks fellow carvers,it always helps to have comments on a piece of work,GOOD OR BAD,it makes me try a little harder on the next piece.

jax,the feet are hand done,paper clips filed on one end,and epoxy putty wrapped around the wire,then i just use epoxy glue to set each toe,and then fill any gaps with a little more putty,then paint em.

i should be keeping in touch more often on this forum,a great bunch of artists on here,THANKS.
