Default 'Nuther Critter

Karen wanted one of these crawdads, so I finally caved in and carved another one. Â*It's over at Â* www.picturetrail.com Â*
Â*under wildlife and stuff.

It's about 7' long overall. Â*Claws and body are carverd separately, and assembled. The legs and antennae are brass rods and tubes. Â*No filler used, just close attention to fitting the pieces.

Sorry the color isn't the greatest; Â*gotta get a better dig cam!

That crawdad looks great! Do you have a plan for them? Or is there somewhere to get a plan?

Hi-Ho! I adapted this pattern from an old Ed Walicki book. (gotta give credit where credit is due, but for some reason, he took it out of the last two revisions) If you want I can sketch it out and send it to ya. Picked up a new scanner today, so as soon as I get it hooked up, I'm back in business!

Great crawdad, the tropical fish over my shoulder are licking their lips over it. They may not eat their food tonite
