Rich,
Haven't caught up with you in a loooong time.
I have a question about the carving....is there anything that you can't do WELL artistically?
you always amaze me.
Nice to see your latest...

And by-the-way you are not allowed to go belly-up. That's an order,.....uh.... Sir. ;)
Keep your tie out of the gravy

Fellas, finally got the wood burning under control and ready to paint. I put the bird back on the rock to make sure the fanned tail feathers will fit like I wanted so I shot some close-up's for ya to see where it stands. I need to brush clean and coat with sanding sealer and commence to painting.

mullet, Del, B2, country, Ken.....thank you for the comments fellas,  I thought I would post a few pics of a "practice feather" so you can see how they change color depending on the light angle , also the last pic is what it looks like in inside ambient light......BUT I am currently having Mr. JW looking at the colors to make sure I get them absolutely correct before handpainting every feather on the bird.....JW I cant thank you enough for your expertise and willingness to help....thank you sir.

Fade the dark into the lighter tips on the feathers and you got it!
