Wonderful work, and I love the way the wing feather come out of the circle.

Nice work. Incredible detail on such a small carving. Throwing that quarter in there is a nice touch for the photo. Giving the size is one thing, but, using something so familiar for perspective really adds to it.

I found a very small red tail dead today while walking, it was smaller than a pidgeon......one wing sticking up......never seen one that small? not sure what else could have the same wing marking and coloring?
