Need a pattern

[BlueCrab]

I am looking for a full size Bohemian Waxwing pattern for a competition bird next September. Any thoughts where I might find a pattern? I have checked Stiller's Patterns; they don't have one.

It is not too early to get going on this, in case I need to do more than one to get it right!

Have you had a look on the RSPB website? They have bird plates on there that might do the job for you. The RSPB

Sugar pine has a Bohemian pattern, and by the looks of it, its good one.

one I done if any help...mark

The measurements are from ringing books, so the tail is full size, you will need to find the size from end of wing-tips....mark.

Thanks twitcher and Hugh for your responses to my request. I overlooked the pattern in Sugar Pine's catalog because it is listed under Japanese Song Birds. I had forgotten that the Bohemian Waxwing has a very large global range, unlike our more common Cedar Waxwing here in North America. I'll give the pattern and cutouts from Sugar Pine a try.

Thanks again.

As a follow up on my request about a Bohemian Waxwing pattern, I looked at the on-line catalog for Razertip Industries at Pyrography, wood burning tools and equipment - Razertip.. They have an extensive list of carving tools, patterns, books, and wood burning tools. They have quite a few patterns, including the Bohemian Waxwing, carving notes, and reference photos for this species. It is well worth checking out for your carving needs. You can request a free hard copy catolog through the web site.
