wow Jeff, that is something! I have to say I'm really impressed with your work. I'm still carving smoothies with mallet tools, but your carvings give me something to aspire to.

I have a friend who used an image just like this to do a large wall carving. The exception was the beak was the body of an Indian and his outstretched arms created the eyebrows of the bird.Might sound a bit odd ,but the overlay was so subtle you didn't notice it right away,,but it made for a very powerful piece once you saw it.
Great photo,,those birds are incredible looking.
