You all are too kind but I appreciate the kind words .Here is the base and new grass the quail is in primer and ready to paint the base is black laquer paint and at last count I had 10 coats .I buffed it to a nice satin gloss.

The quail is excellent. How did you do the legs and feet? Are they inserts of wood or did you form them? I really like the random feather layout.

Thats an excellent carving. I like the open beak and the feather flow is very good.
