This carving was carved from tupelo wood and painted with acrylics. It is life size.

Exceptional bird, David... very lovely.

IMHO (very humble) the branch overpowers the bird a bit and I don't think I like the brass (?) footing of the branch.
But, who am I to talk? I could fly before I could carve a bird.

Congratulations, David! Each piece just gets better. Nice variation in values, & great "quiet" animation, too!

the base looks more like a piece of oak than brass....but ummmm some brass incorporated would look pretty good me thinks!

Thanks for the comments. I have been so busy with shows this fall that this is actually the first piece I have gotten done since November. The base is a piece of weathered sassafras wood.

Beautiful David.
This carving is what we over here call's "soothing" (dunt know if you guy's use expresions like that) to look at.
Very nice work indeed.
Did you use an stone for the texturing on the breast/back area?
