This was my first carving, which I started on a beach in Florida in 1992! I finished it around 202! I was not satisfied with the beak, so I cut it off at least two times and redid it, though not satisfied, I set it on a ledge on our enclosed porch for 4 years. In December I decided to “remodel” it. I cut the head and started carving a new head!

This is that carving with a new head, and a new paint job! I think it is an improvement but not perfect, but much better. I thought it was interesting that I started this carving on a warm beach in Florida, and finished the remodel in Ohio during a snowstorm!
