Two weeks ago, this sculpture of a Golden Eagle was not much more than a pipe dream. Since then, it is making slow progress and starting to resemble something other than a big block of firewood (which is where it almost ended up a few times already). With every chip of wood that is removed, the great raptor slowly comes closer to my vision of what is seen in the back of my mind. This roughing out process is the hardest for me, as I can't wait to start really getting into the detail of carving and burning feather groups into it's surface. One step at a time though I guess.
