| | Re: eagle head 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.

| | Re: eagle head 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? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
