    Default carving

    I'm not usually a fan of carving, but that is rather nice, well balanced and great timber
    Well done

    Thumbs up

    Great to see CD!! A really lovely piece!!


    I'm rather fond of our birds and I always like to see them portrayed in any art form. I am particularly fond of leadlight door panels with wrens.

    thank's Greg, yes the timber is nice, easy to carve,although the dust does affect me some,ARTME these birds were the first that I had tried to do, I was quite pleased with them, but they don't stand out real well, that's why when I carved the BLACK COCKIES(earlier post) I stained and painted them, I stuffed them up, so in future I'll leave things in their natural state.CD.
