Hey, That's neat , Charlie. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do a Snow Eagle before! Looks like a lot of work, and a fine job.

Wow Charlie,

What a nice Budgie

You gonna color him now? Green & yellow are my favorites

Seriously, that is a nice bird. I'm just not 100% sure of the kind; my guess is a Peregrine Falcon.

What is the material and finish?

Regards,
Marcel

[Charlie_1]

LOL :-) Thank you


Whats a Budgie ??



Its supposed to be a golden eagle but a falcon works , its alot closer than a dog or a cat , at least that ones a bird lmao


the wood is just normal pine, and the finish will probably just stain it with about 7 different colors

Budgie is what us peasants call a parakeet!!
It truly is a nice start on the Rhode Island Red Rooster, now you begin the shaping and coloring. If I remember the pattern, its a golden eagle. dale

Hi Charlie,

A budgie is a common pet bird.

The Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus, nicknamed budgie), the only species in the Australian genus Melopsittacus, is a small parrot belonging to the tribe Platycercinae, or broad-tailed parrots. Though budgerigars are often called parakeets, especially in American English, this term also refers to any of a number of small parrots with long flat tails. The budgerigar is found throughout the drier parts of Australia and has survived in the inlands of that continent for over 5 million years.

HI Charlie. I sure don't know what happened to my first reply. but. I just wont to tell ya. You have the hart. of a great scroll sawwer. and I just think you can go anywhere with this piece. you have the begginings. of someone who wonts to do it all.. you have the picture down pat. and cut out the out side. now what do you wont to do with it. I bet you have some great plans. do you wont to do some intasia. or segmentation. or do you wont to just cut out the eagle. and paint it. maybe with some wood burning on the feathers. no matter. it will look great. you go guy. I know you will finish it great. its not a doggie for sure. or a kitty. don't give up just do what you wont to do. your new friend Evie
