Here's the new caving - before and after pics, it's supposed to be a Chickadee. The shaping of it wasn't too hard but the painting was sooooo hard! I'm still looking for lessons other than reading books, there does not seem to be anybody who teaches carving around here. I got a lot of improving to do so I plan to keep working at it. Thanks for looking. Any carvers out there I would appreciate some tips!

Adding the tail:
Putting the Wings and other detail:
Feather detail:
Painting (Not really sure what to do but just going with it!!!):
DONE (I think!):
