boo Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Couple of spare hours this afternoon, tried a phesant head in hardwood , first one ever ! Only had limited tools , lot to improve on , hats off to the guys that carve , got to put a shank on next , the second pic is a light coat of varnish & turns hopefully seals it up....

boo Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 It's not bad , tall Walker, on a hazel twister , see how it develops, hopefully going to work on the feathers once the pyro pen arrives, something else to try ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Well done for trying something different. However, having seen your other sticks, I'm not surprised at all that it's turned out so well. Look forward to the pyro pen work. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
