Re: Bird silhouette whittled out of cedar.
That one painted up good Doug. Very good.
Re: Bird silhouette whittled out of cedar.
Tiny hummingbird. Painting is going to be a challenge.
Re: Bird silhouette whittled out of cedar.
I was looking and thinking that the carving was quiet a challenge as well. Good job. I am enjoying your carving.

Re: Bird silhouette whittled out of cedar.
Still working on it. Not quite there yet. Giving it a little more shape.
Re: Bird silhouette whittled out of cedar.
Every refinement gets a little more delicate but you are doing good.
Re: Bird silhouette whittled out of cedar.
Just go caught up on this thread. Enjoying it much Doug.

I made another bird silhouette recently. Haven't had time to carve much.

Very nice work Doug. Would you ever try a fairly large duck decoy type?

Good going Doug, cedar and you go good together.
Did you ever get a chance to paint the hummingbird? I always enjoy your work.

Re: Bird silhouette whittled out of cedar.
Thanks. No I haven't painted the hummingbird yet. I struggle with painting. As soon as I get the crops all harvested I'm going to try to get it finished.
