Need a little help with inspiration for this was going to stich it to plywood. Not so sure I like that idea anymore. I do like your idea of using a round or oval with bark on it but having a tough time finding one 24"or more in diameter which is what I will need for the length of this.

Thought of using as an inlay but because of all the cuts thru the grain I dont thinkbit will weather well and I dont think it would where well so looking more at as a wall hanging. Any ideas or critic's welcome

Yep, Northmount's got it right. Grap your chain saw, find a tree that's the right wideth and make a long angle cut. It'll be worth the effort. I polyurethane mine to help keep the bark from coming off.

Had a secound thought, What do you think about cutting the eagle out of the excess leather and letting parts of the tail and wing extend beyond the round? lol I'll shut up now.
