A friend at work gave me some 30 year old walnut that he had in his
basement. He left our company to start a winery; bought the land with a farmhouse and barn. I thought I'd take a little bit of the walnut and make a sign for his winery. This is what I came up with. |

I'm not a hunter so I just took their word for it. |

It looks like a pheasant profile. We used to have them around the farm all the time when growing up. The tail feathers are quite colorful. |

We had them running around the backyard when we lived in central Wisconsin. That's a pheasant rooster all right. :-) And that's a beautiful piece of work, Chris. Is that all hand chisel work? Any power tools? What's the finish? How long did it take? Is that two boards joined together? What's the dimensions? Oh, sorry. Was that out loud? :-) Dan |

The guy I gave it to really liked it, too. Is that all hand chisel work? Any power tools? What's the finish? How long did it take? Is that two boards joined together? What's the dimensions? All of the larger relief is hand chisel work. I remove bulk with a router. I also used a dremel for the "scratch detail" on the pheasant and along the edge. The finish is 2 coats of Minwax poly and 2 coats of wax. It took about a week start to finish. Yes, it is 2 boards joined and it ended up about 20" tall and 24" wide. |
