Bittern, carved

bittern

   This past week I was visiting family for a couple of days and one of my Uncles does wild life carving.  A few years ago he carved this Bittern, he only carves things that he has actually seen.  The Bittern is a member of the Heron family.  I was told that the shape was very good, the paint colouring is not quite as good.

  The detail of the frog and the lily pad are almost as much fun as the bird.

   Sonic Crafter, I have on of these and it gives good service for occasional work. I have used it to speed the smoothing and shaping stages of a project.
