Blue herons are a favorite of mine. I love watching their majestic and graceful movements as they fly. It's already a winner in my eyes. I'm sure you will do this design justice!Linda at www.ArtIngrained.com -
Great choice of wood makes this a great project.
Thanks for posting.

That difference is really amazing! What was really impressive is really, really impressive. Will it change much with a second coat?

Wow! - this a stunning piece!
In particular the head is so lifelike it feels like if you got too close to this bird he (or she) would reach out and nip you with its beak.Jim in Mexico

Hello! Glad you liked the heron. I bought the pattern directly from the designer, Bruce Worthington. http://intarsia.hostcentric.com/home/homepage/Originally posted by planeur View Post
The project is 18" x 24" and I used spalted maple for the water, blue pine and weathered maple for the bird, poplar for reeds. It was a challenge to cut and shape, but I am happy how he turned out.Jo Labre - in beautiful Racine, Wisconsin
