Default Sunflower seed
Just thought you people would get a smile from my latest commission piece. Well actually it's part of one. Chickadee sitting on a stump about ready to chow on the seed. Funny thing though almost happened. I bought a bag of seeds (to use as a reference) and had a bunch sitting there on my table. Figured I might as well eat some and almost threw the carved one in my mouth! HA! Have a good one!!! Marc

I agree Marc, it does look like the real thing. Good job. I'm curious, how the heck did you hold that thing while carving it?

Carved most of it still attached to the longer piece of wood I carved it from. Then carved it down to a little nub still holding it on and cut it off and finished it.
