It's been raining off and on around here most of the day, so I was looking for something to keep busy with. In my scrap lumber box I found a couple pieces of 2 x 4's I had ripped down to 2x2's to make one project or another. Not sure what type of wood the 2 x 4's are made from (smells like pine or fir) but after whittling on it for a bit I thought this stuffs not half bad to carve.
I have roughed out this eagle for a topper on a red oak staff I picked up while walking through the woods at the county park last week.
The hardest part is next, adding the feathers so it looks like an eagle. Maybe a combination of V gouge and wood burning? Any suggestions?
Attached pics are the piece of 2x2, roughed out eagle and red oak staff.
