Great bird both technique-wise and artistically. Very nice positioning with the head!

| | Re: pied billed grebe Hi Aaron,
Wow! At first I thought it was a painting, then I looked closely and saw it is indeed a carving, and a beautifully done one at that. The paint is done to prefection. It may have taken a while but it was definitely worth it.
Makes me want to carve birds. Actually, I'm seriously thinking about it. Thanks to bird carvers like you. |

| | Re: pied billed grebe Thanks for all the kind words! I really enjoyed doing it. Just wish I was a lot closer to retirement so I could do it full time!
Thanks again,
