Default Green Heron ( finished )
I just finished this challenging carving, because it was done out of one piece of wood. Hope you enjoy the Green Heron and his friend the turtle. Smile Bird carver</IMG>

Congratulations, that is a beauty of a scene. The Heron turned out splendid! The whole scene tells quite a story and you expect it to explode into action. Bravo!!!

WOW. What a beautiful job you did on that heron, he looks absolutely alive, I've been following your progress as you did this carving and you certainly can be very proud, it is indeed something of beauty. Congrats to you.
