Due to requests from several people, here is an up date on the carving process. It's easy. Picture the bird inside the block, and remove that wood that doesn't belong. :-}
This is the time consuming work, but what the heck, I'm retired and have lots of time, right?
The home made carving vice works great, and I can set the bird at any angle or position. $20. Thanks, Internet!
Now it is starting to look like a Shoveler Drake, Sort of.
The body is almost ready for the second level of carving.Da bea, da beah, that's all folks, for now! :-}
yeah, not something i could do at all. :)
