Tomanydogs Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 Wow Jim you did an excellent job. Well done. Quote
meflick Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Beautiful job Jim. I wish that stupid cardinal that has been beating on my windows for months now would just do as these two and sit quietly on a branch. thanks for sharing.

tgiro Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 The cutting, shaping and finish on these are wonderful. One comment, for cardinals - if you do a google->images->cardinals search, you'll find that cardinal beaks are about the same color as their bodies. Even the females, who often have a grey/orange plumage have bright red beaks. This is really good work though. Who ever gets it will love it. Quote
