March "What's on your Workbench?"

Jode

You gonna be at Westlake? I've talked to Lenny a little and sounds like a bunch of you Jersey folk are coming over. We'll have to find time to share our birds and do a little show and tell. Can't wait to catch up.

Nice whistlers by the way...

While waiting for some paint for decoys I had a project that turned out to be fun. Had a request for a rabbit head for a beer tap. A home brew maker who's wife is a rabbit nut wanted a dutch bunny head with the ears laid back due to the tap placement. Anyway, never did a bunny before but it was fun and turned out OK. I did a whole bunny for the guys wife as a surprise. Hope I get a lifetime supply of home brew for these. :-)

The head is Montana cottonwood and the whole body is white pine, Janses acrylics.

Still a bit of work to do to all of them, but its keeping me busy. I've got a long ways to go to catch up to the craftsmanship on this site though. I love stopping back to se the "what's on your bench" threads. Some really inspirational work presented by some fantastic carvers.
