Turkey carving

Nicely done Bob. I really like the attention to detail you gave to the turkey. I'm slowly beginning to branch out into the figure/pictorial carving world. I hope to one day be able to do things like this.

Thanks, I think you will be able to. The turkey comes directly from Al Stohlman's book Figure Carving Finesse. He was a little vague on exactly how he got the feathers to look like they did but a few practice pieces later I'd figured out how I think he was doing it. The result gave a pretty realistic looking feather. It's a great book for figure carving techniques if you don't have it it's worth getting.
