Fun little project. The brass legs and perch were a clever touch. Think I’ll give this a shot. Thanks

A great video! Very clear explanation. What size wood did you start with? I presume you cut the blank on a bandsaw?

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

Hope the messages on Etsy helped! 😊

[@waynehaylett6662]

Have you got blank template please

[@markshelstad3481]

This is so lovely, what tool do you use to make the holes?

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

Thank you 😊 I used one of those mini precision hand drills 😊

[@aliceswann4148]

Very Nice demo! What type of bird were you carving? A reference would be helpful.

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

I’ve based mine on a goldfinch but robins would be a good reference as well 😊👍

[@davidanderson688]

Just completed one of your birds that I purchased from you really struggled with the the tail ! Not as good as yours .Enjoyed it though .What diameter brass rod did you use ? I am going to buy some .Many Thanks

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

Really pleased you enjoyed the kit! 😁 The tail can be challenging to carve, the trick is to just whittle away a little at a time, it’s easier to think of it as a V shape and you’re carving towards the most narrow part, Hope that helps! The diameter for the rods is 1.6mm 😊 👍

[@karihajduk9776]

such a pretty carving. thank you for so many tips. may i ask where you got your knife? i'd love a whittling knife made of bone!

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

Thanks so much for the support I really appreciate it! 😊 I made the knife myself, I had a friend give me some shed antlers and I shaped it to fit a blade on an old knife blade I had. I’ve still got pieces of antler left so I might make some more soon and list them on the website 😊

[@karihajduk9776]
