A whimsical bird...

...from Laura Dunkle's book: the blue bird of happiness. This one is about 3 cm tall (1.25 inches). The hardest part of this was carving the square stock scrap into an egg shape to be able to start carving the bird. Talking

Now you know how hard the Mama Bird works!

Nice work!

Piece looks great. Not surprising about the egg,,next to a perfect sphere, an egg is one of the hardest shapes to do well and have it look convincing because of all the constantly changing radius
