Finally off the Saw

Wanted to do something to remember the beautiful Pheasants, which used to be plentiful in our area.  Now it is very exciting to see one.  Been hearing on but have not spotted him yet.  

This is a Mike Williams pattern, 1/4" BB. Both straight and spiral blades were used.  Got to take a day and make frames, I have 4 pictures waiting for frames.

Wow! Very nice piece. How big is it?
As for pheasants, We are very fortunate. Our land abuts a wildlife management area. It seems to be teeming with pheasants. I attribute that to two winters in a row that weren’t too terribly bad.

Beautiful piece, Paul. I also have a few projects needing frames. I've started them but the cath lab got in the way. I'm hoping I'll feel up to finishing a couple this weekend.

It is 16" x 12.5". You are lucky.  I used to have many, but when the U&I Sigarbeets left, the pheasants started disappearing.   I do not know what Pheasants do with sugarbeets, but that is what I have been told.

I hope you feel better soon.  I have no excuse, I am just not fond of making frames.
