Great pins David. I really like the eagle one. Didn't know if very many carvers carved the pins and magnets. Mine are in picturetrails under other stuff about 3 or 4 photos down. Mine are of doves and roses, walnut, oak and bassword. Have several smaller roses carved out of butternut and not painted. If I can get one back from my wife, daughter or MotherIL I'll take a picture and upload it. The Dove is 2x2x1/4' and the rose is a little under 3 '. The butternut roses are about 1'

I have several family members who collect humming birds so may attempt one. Thanks for sharing and you gave me an Idea for one. Thanks

Really nice work, Dave. *Remind me to tell you the story about the burrowing owls at Bullhead city when I get out your way.

OOPS, wrong Dave! Still very nice work!

VERY NICE! This is a dumb question, but how do you do these, is it mostly just a very small v-tool you use?

David_Aaron_Sercel · 03-16-2004, 02:23 AM

I carve them using power tools. The feather detail is put in with either
a woodburner or with a small grinding stone in a power carver.
