| Large Swan carved out from a hollowed out Black Walnut log. This is a project which has no defined completion time. |
| On the Bench A large siting Eagle with folded wings. A several parts project with no define completion time. It's being carved from rounds and slabs of Black Walnut. A slow process that gets my hands and fingers sore. |
| Carrier Pigeons I am currently working on a project for the Tank Museum in Danville Virginia. The curators inquired about the possibility of making wooden Carrier Pigeons to replace their aging taxidermy mounts. These Pigeons are known for their role as messengers during the 1st World War and are still well regarded by serious and amateur hobbyists around the World. |
One done, two more to go. I decided early to somewhat modify the design to better accomodate the shape of the pouch which would have fit on a rather thin pigeon. The bird wings would have been restrained, but not too tight. I had to discard two of my original rough outs because they both followed a more natural bird posture. This pigeon manekin is a "no frills" basic concept, intended to serve as a prop to display a military intelligence tool. |
