Hi Randy
Looks darned good to me. Will be interested to see what you do with the eyes. If you decide to change it, why not treat it like a bird carving and make an eye to drop in. A white wood with a darker wood for the pupil could make a nice contrast to the colour of the face....

Well not a lot of progress. Made the feet and tallons out of heavy copper wire. Soldered the bits together the overlaid the copper with the solder and built it up a bit. Then used a blunt pocket knife to shape it and make the ridges in the feet. The tallons were lightly sprayed with etch primer then...

Hi Merle
I did what you said and I think it is better. What do you think would this pass ok or is it still just not there yet.
Have just purchased the book on Ebay. Want to do a Half size one one day. Bigger pieces for some reason seem easier to do. I think with small pieces just a fraction...

Hi Merle thanks for the advice. I knew I would have these issues with a full piece in 3D. Re shaping the beak has helped considerably and having done that The eye ridge does look to need to do half as deep as it is at present.

beginning to think that I should cut the legs off and get the...

Had to have 2 goes at trying to get the head right. Still not convinced it is right but have run out of wood to play with so this will have to do.

Had some issues with my darned hands playing up. Is a bit like a knife is stuck in the nerve that goes from wrist right up to the tip of the...
