Good job. If that is only your second, I can't wait to see your tenth. They are beautiful birds we don't have here.

Nice carving and painting! You say this is your second bird, but you don't say how many years you've been carving! <smile>

Good work. The `Bird`of British Columbia.
Perhaps you could show this to

John Reischmann and The Jaybirds. Their discography speaks for itself.

Your carving might spark some interest for an album cover.

Thanks for all the kind words. I have been wood working for 40 years are so - and did some small chip carvings several years ago. I started a wood carving class this past January. The teacher has been fantastic - he has been carving for 40 years or more.
