I take a couple of days away from the computer and come back to a ton of great stuff. This was a very productive weekend. Well, I promised some Glamour Shots of The Birdman and here they are. He is carved in Mahogany, 45" tall and weighs over 50lbs. He can be hung on the wall or left asa free-standing piece. This was the first piece from my large wood score a few months ago. This was the one piece that didn't fit into the wood shed, so I started carving it while it was still a bit wet. Some cracks have formed but they seem to have stabalized (plus I think they look really cool). I didn't carve down to the heartwood as much as I wanted too, but there were a lot of lessons learned on this guy and the wood. I still have a large stash of mahogany and you will be seeing more in the future! Enjoy!!
