Bald Eagle

[Scrappile]

Don't get much scrolling time anymore, but I did squeeze in one over a 5 week period.  This is a pattern by Jacob and Wayne Fowler.  Book titled "Woodworker's Pattern Book, 78 Realistic Fretwork Animals"  The pattern is made to be done with one piece of wood, but I figured out how to at least make the head with White Aspen.  the body and stand are Black Walnut.  I/2" thick.

Great job and nice idea on the different wood for the head! From the looks of the size that must have involved some awkward turns on the saw on the ends, like the tail. I'm  lazy in that area and don't enjoy cutting large pieces.

Very nice indeed, a wonderful Eagle.

Awesome idea Paul. The aspen worked out great.  Nice job!

Looks great Paul.  Brilliant idea to use the Aspen on the head.
