Golf Birds

[DWSudekum]

In the August 2012 Creative Woodworks & Crafts ( the other guys ) they had these birds made from golf balls. The ones I made were based on them. The only scroll work were the wings, head feathers and in one case the head/beak. Painted with acrylic.

I did up a couple from the pattern for a friends upcoming golf tournament. I also added a piece of the wire drilled into the wings and beak and then drilled into the golfball to make it a little more unbreakable. It has been my experience gluing stuff to a gold ball breaks easy. Loved the project.

I modified the wings and the tail and put 1/8 in wide fingers on the surface and then drilled holes where they would go and then glued them on. I agree that the wings and tail feathers just glued on were a little weak.

Those are just too cute! Like Jim Day, I wasn't overly impressed, but now I will have to go and research that article again. I do see some possibilities.

A friend says I need to make "Angry Birds" out of them, guess I'm old, don't know what those are so guess I better google them.
