smitty0312 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) This is my second attempt at this bird, better pleased with the results this time, made better looking legs & feet, gave the face a little color, added some eyes, also added some more tail feathers.......all cut with scroll saw and miter saw for the angles, table saw too to cut boards to width, used brad nailer, screws & glue to assemble, all made from rough cut cedar pickets found at your local HD.........5 layers.......10° cuts for the feathers......comments as always please......Hope I inspired you to try one of these for Fall that is fast approaching........

Lucky2 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Dan, I didn't see anything wrong with the first one you made, but, I'll take your word that this one looks better. I'm a bit surprised that you didn't leave the center tail feather longer, if it was longer it could be cut to a point to help the bird stand. Granted, you'd only want to do that if is was for outdoor use. Len smitty0312 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
