Oh man, you've come a long way and what a beautiful job you've done. We had a green heron feed in our pond every day a few years ago, it's the only one I ever seen in my life. Yours is so life like, looks like hje's just watching a minnow swim around. Congratulations on a magnificent work of art.

Looks great! Can't wait to see how the rest comes out. BTW - where do you get the eyes? I've used Duck Blind and MDI and like the former best so far...

Thumbs up Re: Green Heron Cont.

Lovely ..... Really fine.
We collect bird carvings and I'd sure like to have that one. I like the base as much as the bird..... and I can't wait to see the turtle.
