trailfndr Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 After a month out of the shop due to back surgery, I had the itch REAL bad, so I decided to give it a go. Took me 4 days (normally 4 to 6 hours) but got this Hyacinth Macaw finished Yeah, it had to be stained Blue, but I used Poplar, Yellowheart, Peruvian Walnut, and Zebra Wood. Its 17 inches tall, and unfortunately I don't know the designer, It was a free pattern on one of the magazine websites that I picked up a couple years ago. terrylee, amazingkevin, Lucky2 and 2 others 5 Quote
