Your creative talent with carving any kind of birds are more than outstanding Hugh and this Grouse will start to breathe when you have finished painting it.

Wonderfull work with the details and feathering!!

I agree with Forrest, he may strut off and find a girlfriend when he gets his paint job. Beautifully done.

Geez Hugh, even without the painting, he looks like he could jump right out of the monitor screen and run across the room! Great job! Please post the painted finished piece. Can't wait to see it!

Great job Hugh, you have clean lines, feathers cupped, even consistant burning, correct feather patterns, and you have caught the essence of the grouse. I want to be able to carve as well as you do when I grow up! God bless, Dick
