Red-tailed Hawk Carving
This red-tailed hawk carving is nearly complete except for the claws, some more surface work, a surface coating and attachment to a base. I took a picture of it when I was just getting started good and meant to take others, but kept putting it off because I never seemed to arrive at an easy to photograph stage. This picture was meant to show the long holding block which allows me to turn the entire carving upside down as needed, but my camera angle obscures that block's length. If I can remember to take photos and learn to properly set them up, I intend to use this space to document my next carving from beginning to end. Keeping a photographic record might even encourage me to remove some of the clutter littering up my shop shelves and tables.
