Blackbeard,

That is a great first, both the carving and the painting. The base was also an excellent choice. Good job!

How big an owl Black beard ?? If you have high speed I can email you a tutorial on the Saw Whet, you would need Power Point viewer on your computer, and its a free download. Actually you could do most any owl using the tutorial, its just a guide .

Send me an email, and I'll get it sent out. woodduck@nb.sympatico.ca I had trouble with my server sending the large files for awhile, they would bounce them back to me, but there seems to be no difficulties now.
