Love it. You are truly a very talented artist and highly skilled with the chainsaw.
Thanks for posting.

This one was a comission piece. The school isn't ready to take delivery so I'll get to keep this one for a couple of weeks. Last eagle was a 'wings up' with salmon in his talons and sold before I could take photos.
Need to start carving small stuff for the holiday market.

Nice Eagle, love how you did the legs and feet. The base is outstanding. Thanks for sharing. Wish we were closer, I would enjoy carving and learning with you. Keep up the awesome work.

I take that as quite a compliment coming from you, Mark. It's always great to be around other carvers at work. I've picked up some great techniques by simply watching...

Thats REALLY nice. I was gonna ask how much but I see you have the price right there. I dont have the artistic skills to do something like that, but I can't see paying some of the prices I have seen around here. Theres a guy down the road from me that must think he is gods gift to the art world with a chainsaw. He is charging more than what you have that selling for, for just a simple looking bear.

He must be a really good salesman!
It's better to see other carvers with high prices than the other way around.

Great work! How many hours do you have in the compleeted project? I will put 8 to 12 hrs in a carving to get the look I want and end up with something that would sell for about $300.00. 
Awesome looking piece.:yourock:

I probably have about 8 hours of carving and some more time in sealing it 3 or 4 times.
Thanks,

I guess I am doing ok then.My 8 to 12 hrs is including stain and I usually put 5 to 6 coats of clear on. I like the wood shinny.
