Red-Tailed Hawk

[Dan]

I started this about one year ago then it sat until last month. I took a picture of the hawk in my brother's backyard, converted it to a pattern, then put it on wood. The wood is cherry. The flaw is a knot that was originally in the board. It's finished with satin polyurethane. I did torch the edges to give is some sort of framing. Most of it was cut with a FD-#1UR and some with a #1 spiral. I did notice some fading of the wood after I removed the pattern. Learned a lesson there.

i love it, the scorching gives it a good edge, iam a bit jalous to be honost

[Scrappile]

Top notch!  The knot only adds to it.  Great work.

I love the richness of the cherry and the knot really worked in perfectly. The  torched edge really sets off the whole picture!  A great pattern and great cutting.   :thumbs:

Beautifully done. Cherry is a great choice for it. Of course, the knot is good.

Nice work! I remember the pattern and still have it from when you posted it. Now i know which piece if wood to use- thanks for the idea.

If I remember correctly. you showed us the photo and the process that you took to make the pattern. It came out very nice. It was definately worth the wait.

¡Wow! Wonderful work, thanks for sharing.    

[Dan]

Thanks everyone. I put the pattern on last year and every part that was uncovered got a sunbath. Hehe.

 

Dick, I think I did post the photo then the pattern. If I were to use the oattern again I would not cut the area below the tail.

[amazingkevin]

I never would have given it a second thought about the tail,but maybe

[wombatie]

Everything about this piece is perfect, wood, vacated knot, pattern, cut, torched edges all perfect.  Great work Dan.

What a super work.  Looks outstanding.  Great work and wood selection.  Cherry has some great grain patterns to it and makes a cutting really stand out.
