Prep Works

The following images illustrate how our bird sculptures are made.

Step#1. A life-sized drawing of the bird is prepared from observation and with reference to bird guides and images seen on the web.

Step#2. The outline of the bird is transferred (traced) on to southern yellow pine. Planks are 25mm thick and 300mm width, so larger birds require planks to be glued together.

Step#3. The bird outline is cut out using a jigsaw and the eye socket drilled.
