Hummingbird

[Band Saw Box]

I'm been humming along with this project. It the Hummingbird from Diana's book. It made from basswood. I broke off part of the beak while sanding I rushed it to the local vet but it was too late to save it but even with half a beak it does not look to bad. I thinking about making another one using some poplar with lots of green in the grain. Now dont get idea that I may become addicted to compound cutting I can stop any time I want, this is just not the time. Any and all comments are welcome.

I think he's a beautiful bird inflight. I love hummingbirds. why not super glue the beak back on?
Did you hear about the petco that was grooming a customer's dog and the groomer accidentally cut its ear off and they tried to superglue the ear back on...the owner had to take the dog to the vet where the vet said it looked like they tried to superglue it back on.,
The owner was filing a lawsuit. My point is they can superglue the ear back on...you can glue the bird's beak back on.....long story, I know to make a point....but the bird looks good either way.

Thanks DW and Catlyn for your nice comments. I didn't try and super glue the beak back on is because I have to idea were my mop sander flung it. I used a green highlighter to color the bird I think it looks kind of nice.
