Hi Dale, I got access to a swan carcass from Fish & Wildlife awhile ago. I shot about 300 REALLY close-up photos of various features....from head to tail to feet. If you're interested, I could burn a CD for you...just need your snail-mail addy. I have about 300 of an adult trumpeter swan & about 200 of a trumpeter cygnet (adult sized, just juvie plumage) lcorbett@fretel.com Lori (Osprey Bait) |

Lori - aren't you the 'magician' who did the How To Make Black series? It's wonderful to have you with us on this board. Thank you. Please give your web site so everyone can see the things you do.

Hello all, Thanks for the kind words, Mike. I enjoy doing that to help someone out--so many people helped me get started so it's the least I can do. Besides, I meet the nicest people (carvers) that way! Lori--thanks sharing that info. We are so lucky to have your expert involvement here. I love your carvings! Donna T
