Default Harris Hawk bust
I have just finished a Harris hawk bust and posted in the galleries. It is from a Marlen Downing design used for a red-tail hawk. The base is a slab of cypress knee. The hawk is painted with watercolor and finished with Krylon clear matte. The cypress knee base has several coats of tung oil. The bird (basswood) is 10.5 inches and the slab 3.0 inches. I used two pieces of all thread set in epoxy to attach the hawk to the base.

Beautiful work Paul. Amaizing bird. You have captured her perfectly......a combination of grace, elegance and violence all contained in one! Well done.

Paul, your hawk is beautiful...I particularly like the way the base and bust work together.

Paul, The eyes are glorious! Bird eyes can be difficult to get a truely real feeling in their appearence. I also love how the base wood that you chose accents the shoulder coloring. Very nicely done!
