Default Eagle with painted eyes

I finally finished up my brother's eagle and thought I'd share him with you. I decided on painting the eyes instead of using glass ones. I really worried about it but am pretty pleased with the results. (Although, in person they are very 'high gloss', for some reason they don't show up that way in the picture!)

I got a break, hubby's latest Game News magazine had an eagle on the cover, close up view, that's what I followed! Hope you like him....and that Kevin does too!!

Thanks! Deborah

I'm sure your brother will fall in love with him. I went to your site and sure did enjoy all your carvings. When i clicked on your southwest santa my wife started saying OH!! OH!!! I don't have anything like that. All I can say I'm glad we are getting old and forgetfull. Sure did enjoy looking at your site and one day I'm going to attempt that angel in WCI

What a beautiful piece you've done here Deborah! Very nice work and attention to detail. I think I'd have a hard time parting with this one if I were you - great gift!

Power or hand-carved? and How long did it take you?

Nice work Deborah, you would have to tell me that they are not glass eyes. I'm sure your brother will enjoy your carving. Its a gift that keeps on giving.

I don't know anything about bird carving but in my book that is a darn fine Eagle carving! Looks like it's real for sure!
