Wow! I am so impressed with so many posts. If anyone wants a direction page for making these or a "how to" start a Comfort Birds chapter email me at kurtnjudy@yahoo.com. Our group is almost all first time carvers so we stick with basswood and hand sand and/or use a Dremel barrel sander with two different grits and finish off some with Minwax water based stain (in tubes) then polyurethane and furniture wax

Jim, if need more wood from around my neck of the woods, let me know. I have some small pieces of redwood burl and other woods.

Hi Jim,

I am from Quebec, Canada and did exactly the same thing - trying my new Foredom on these birds. As well I am playing with different king of wood - Red cedar, white cedar, Wenge, Zebrano, Padouk, Par Amarillo, Amarante.
I am now starting to make/carve supports for these birds with Found wood which give them a totally different look.


Bye

Pat
