"Rebel Yell" Eagle Head Flute

[pararaptor]

Hey Everyone,
Just completed a fun project for a friend.
I once made a bald eagle head flute with the stars and stripes along the bore and dubbed it "The Patriot" flute. I then posted it to my web site where i felt certain a trucker or biker would buy it. I was wrong; within 30 minutes of posting, a man from France bought it, and later posted a video of him playing it on Youtube.
A friend then asked if I could do a Southern flag on a flute.
I scoured the net to find the right Confederate flag to try and paint on (actually, it's burned in and painted). I then found images of a Reb hat and a bugle to try and carve.
Here's how it turned out.

Greg, I have said it before and I will say it again, your flutes are just sublime! I truly love every single one I have seen of yours. The Elk and Moose flutes and even the rack they sit on are just superb pieces of art, let alone how they may sound. Thank you for sharing another great flute with us. The fetish is so apt and well designed it amazes me. Well done. Joe.

Wonderful flute. I hope I can learn to do that kind of work on my flutes. I am making my first one.
