A flock of birbs

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I've been carving birds lately (or birbs, since they're cute and small). First is ash (not recommended for beginners), next is cherry (better, but the curly cherry scrap I used had some interesting grain to work with), and finally juniper (not bad, but brittle).Carved with various Morakniv knives, ranging from a sljd knife to their 8cm long Basic knife. Then sanded, generally with 60, 120, 180 and 220 grits before being finished with BLO and shellac.Ruler in the background for those who want to know how big they are. They're generally small enough to be held in a hand.
