Bark Owl

[JoeVM]

This screech owl is from cottonwood bark. He's about 8" tall.

Good one Joe. I keep thinking that I'm going to try an owl, but I don't know, I'm not that familiar with them--------------

I'm not either Joe, but there are lots of good pictures on the internet.

That's a nice one, Joe! I like the natural color and grain. I never knew owls could bark!

[JoeVM]

Thanks Tinwood. Thanks Bob K, they must do that when they are not screeching or hooting.

Lovely work Joe!! The warmth and natural color of that bark works great for your owl.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Terry, glad you like it.

Heck yea, that is nice I never carved bark but it looks like mahogany or walnut

[JoeVM]

Don, it's much softer and easier to carve than mahogany or walnut. Also more likely to break off or have bad spots--keep your glue bottle handy.
