The photo of the finished project of a carved wood blue jay is one of the most impressive carvings I have ever seen. I have never carved wood before but I would love to learn how to make this fantastic work of art! Has anyone attempted to recreate this little beauty? I love it, and this definitely rates as a wonderful art creation! Thank you for sharing the how to info!

WOW, this is so impressive! I don't think I have the patience for wildfowl carving, but I can definitely appreciate the artistic qualities of the craft.
