Eagle Carving.

[Rossr]

Well I keep working on carving at times and still feel I have tons to learn.  I'm working on this eagle. It's in process. It's going on the inside of a custom box lid which will be a gift. Leather is approx 8 inches by 14 inches.  Open to thoughts on improving and how to gwt better at figure carving too.  Backgrounding next.

the detail in this is pretty amazing...how did you go about making the feathers on the body of the bird if I may ask.    out standing work

Looks great! Nice work. Outstanding!

Ok has to dry and then I need to decide how to finish it or what to finish it with I should say.  It's chestnut wicket and kraig skirting leather so it has color.   

 

Anyway was asked to add a feather and initials so done.

So the main body as well as well as some of the wings I used a needle.  Basically same as using a modeling spoon but smaller.  So for some I used the side other work the tip and just kept working through adding feathers. Thanks for the kind words
