|  Cardinal Here is a carving of a Northern Cardinal that I finished this afternoon. The bird was carved from tupeo wood and painted with acrylics and the pine branch base was cunstructed with brass.

 | Re: Cardinal Hi, That carving is really good. You must be an expert. I wish I could do that... Was that carved with powertools? Also how did you do the shading on the back of the cardinal? Thank you |

| Re: Cardinal Yes, it was carved with power tools. I use a heavy duty flex-shaft tool for roughing out and a Ram Power 45 micro motor for the detailing. The shading on the back: I blocked in the colors with an air brush, using four shades of red – a light, orangish red for the highlights, two medium tone reds, and a dark purplish red for the shadows. Then, I went back in with a brush and highlighted the feather tips with a light red, doing each barb individually to give it a feathery look. After that I used a darker red to ‘highlight’ some of the shadows, this time painting in between the highlighted barbs to give it more depth. Then I went through and added shadows where it looked like there should be some, like where a feather overlaps, using a dark, reddish black.

| Re: Cardinal I swear, Dave, I thought I saw your cardinal fluff his feathers this morning in the cold pre-dawn air! Great work. Al |

| Re: Cardinal David, Like all the others above have said, your bird carvings are fantastic. For others new to seeing Davids work, I suggest you check out his web page, he has a great step by step section on carving one of his birds. I really enjoyed it, along with his gallery of pics. Base.....very unique and just perfect, well balanced layout. Coffeeman |
