Here is one of my larger birds.

It still amazes me that this is one piece of wood.

So I set up shop in the basement because it is about 7 degree F out, so the garage is probably 10 degrees. I have manufactured a bird stand with some oak dowels and an end plate for a hand rail. This differs from my other stand that has a brass rod. I think I will make a few more to see how people like them at the carving show coming up.
