Love the hummingbird, the way you took advantage of the lines of the wood is great.

Both look great Rank, but I really like the hummer. Might I ask what wood it is carved from? It looks like a very nice pine.

Someone was asking about what "stylized" was a ways back. This is an excellent example, in both form and use of the wood.

I knew it was red cedar! One of my favourite woods!

With a grain structure like that - harder rings mixed in with soft - how did you handle the sanding?
