Default update on the new tree carving

Hi gang,
I have been working pretty this week on that new carving. I have it pretty well roughed out. I decided to take your advice some what. I think the wood spirit with the eagle on his head is a better fit the other side is another woodspirit. The long arm I think will be a hand holding a flag or a sword not sure yet. I am having a brain fart about the limb in the rear. Maybe I will just cut it off. Any way here are some pictures of the progress. Any comments people will be very welcome I love constructive critisism.
Colin

I expect you have a few looking on while your doing your thing. The eagle will be quite a sight when its finished. I'm too green a carver to give you any advise but I'm keen on hearing what others have to say.
Patrick.

It looks like you've got a good start on it. I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends up.

Looking good Colin! That Spirit is going to have a terrible sore head with those Eagle Talons sticking in his forehead! Looking real sharp!

Colin,
You never cease to impress me.
As far as the back branch is concerned , I think I would wait , until the rest is finished then step back look and then make the choice.

Will be a wonder work when complete either way !

Ash

Just a suggestion on the limb in the back. Why not make it a school of fish or one big muskie? It looks great!

Colin,
Great design with the eagle on the woodspirits head. What a dramatic scene!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with for that big branch in the back. No idea what to suggest. It is going to be a powerful piece when you're done, so the idea of the hand holding a weapon of some sort (even an axe) would fit in with the overall strength expressed. I'm sure you'll do it proud.
Wonderful to see you works in progress again.
Thor

I'm glad the weather finally let you work. Looks great as usual. Keep us posted. Did your project you talked to me about fall through?
