Eagle Flying To England OT

Post by joe cieslowski »

This isn't a sign so I guess this is off topic....

I was asked to carve this for Michaels Mum back in England.

I'm always honored to produce a piece as a gift, especially when it's going to a country with such a long, rich history of carving.
Hope you like it.

It's made from 5/4 pine, aprox 19" wide. No sanding and is stained with my Minwax Mix and cleared with semi-gloss laquer.

Thanks guys,

Dave, I don't think I asked.......or if I did, I forgot :roll:

Larry, I think a full size Grizzley would look great in Machine. As soon as I have a minute, I'll knock one out for ya. :D I'm just thinking that the S&H would be a killer tho. :wink:

Thanks Again,

Joe
