wooly Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I've been working on this guy for close to a week now. I did the big bold stuff with the saw, and then picked away at the detail stuff on the head, chest, and back with the Dremel. He's right around 30" tall Finally got him buttoned up tonight and I think I've had enough feather work for a while,lol 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooly Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thanks guys! I'm working on getting some bigger material, then I have a few other critters in mind to try. Still got a few good chunks here to keep me busy until then. I had to walk away from this one a few times as the feathers were doing a number on my wrists and eyeballs, BUT I had promised a buyer to finish it up this week so I wanted to make sure it got done in time. Turned out better than I expected to be honest with ya. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyice Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 While the feathers are cool(and painstaking I’m sure) I really like the head turn and the eyes...seem super natural Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 VERY impressive, did you use a torch on the owl too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep- I burn and oil most all of them since I'm an awful painter! When I'm feeling a little frisky as I was on this guy, I'll mix in a little staining every here and there as well. I'm working on getting better at shading and coloring different tones with the torch. Seeing some progress in both areas but always got room for improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
