Hello and good morning all,
Today I'd like to share a recent piece I carved. A small eagle...
In the winter, I only carve smalls and ship them out. The larger pieces are carved in the warmer months as it's easier.

It started with a quarter sawn log and a couple crayon markings.

Not long after, I had it roughed out with the chainsaw..

Some details in and it was starting to look the part..

Just about ready for the torch..
The torch..
Next I scraped the char off and sanded a bit before paint..

Then some shadowing with the airbrush...

Finished it off with a splash of white and yellow..

I had a request for a larger eagle once the weather warms up so this was practice and will be sold on the Facebook page.
