What a great looking Duck! I'm sorry It's Charlie and Dale's fault....
Great looking tile....and Eagle.

[lucky788scroller]

Yes, That must be the 'sharp-beaked northern US duck" It so closely resembles an eagle, it is often misidentified. I do know that pattern was from Sheila Bergner Landry though! Looks nice! Dale

how did you do the red background ,a bacor board i think , but then how did you keep the background on the eagle black

Evie, the backer is plywood that I spray painted red. I just masked off around the edges so I had a clean area to glue the eagle to. The outline of the leaf appears black only because the kerf is too thin for the red to show through. It just comes out "dark" and that's fine with me. I was thinking of wood burning it so there wouldn't be any gaps in the leaf outline, but my skills with a burner aren't that good. In fact, if you look closely enough I guess my skillls with a saw aren't that good either (I blame it on a new blade type I was not used to ), but slips are a little less obvious with the saw kerf.

Yes, that is her pattern, but after reducing it 50% (to fit on the tile) I opted to take some of the detail out. I wanted the 'duck' to stand out a little more while not running it up to the edge of the square. And being from "maple country" I didn't want to lose the leaf. Then I chamfered the edges to soften them a little.
