this is my latest eagle woodburning. is of two eagles and a chipmunk. poor chipmunk has been dropped by the first eagle. now you must use your mind to wonder is it getting away? is it falling into a nest? or is it about to get grabbed.
i had fun doing these eagles. my favorite bird.
the burn is done on a maple cabinet door. size 24×30 and on the frame in each corner are burned feathers acround the corners. enjoy

Very nice burning Pat. You always do such fine detail work. I’ll have to say the eagle will get the chipmunk. The poor little eagle has to eat too. Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully done. Poor chipmunk. How about feeding them some squirrel next time? I’ll donate a couple dozen.

What a great looking piece, you really got the power of the eagle showing here. Last night a buddy of mine sent me an email that shows an eagle getting a goat for it’s meal. I’ll add the link because it’s amazing how they do it. Beautiful job you’ve done here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VklTs-Tid_I&feature=related

Great burning Pat, the best I have seen. Birthday was in December did you miss it? Could be a late present. If he is one of the chipmunks from the Cartoon he will be OK. Don’t have them in Oz.

That’s a great pc of art Pat. I love the feathers on the corners also.
I share your love for eagles.
Grandpa found this golden eagle wounded and had to be put down. (1955’) I now own it and wouldn’t give it up for anything.

Pat. A great looking door. We’ve got a couple of Bald Eagles that fly around my place here in Lower, Slower Delaware.

As always Pat…you are so amazing with your fireart! I have had the pleasure of seeing Pat’s work in person..and the pictures just never show how beautiful they really are. This takes my breath away for sure!
I have seen the video with them going after sheep. If anyone is interested..I have some pics someone sent with an eagle dealing with a fox. Totally awesome pics! Email me privately and I’ll pass them on. Again Pat..thanks for sharing your beautiful fireart! Can’t wait to see the Panda!

Very Talented, what equipment did you use? I am interested in buying a burning system but cannot find any good information on any system. So far i have only found 2. One from Lee valley and the other from woodworkers supply.

thanks arnold. i use a colewood detailer with an optima pen. i also use an optima as a backup machine. there are a lot of machines out there. i have had good luck with the colewood. i also use a Hot point single temp burner for straigh lines.
i would go with an inexpensive one until you decide if you want to invest in a more expensive one.
and they you will hvae two . one to use and one for backup in case one dies.,
i do not recommend any one woodburner as there are so many.
if i was going to buy another one i would most likely get another colewood. or a burnmaster.
but i always keep a single temp hot tool. they do straight lines really good. and i use them for shading also. my last hot tool lasted for over 20 years.
good luck, show us some of your work when done.
and wood i use are: maple cabinet doors, basswood, poplar, aspen. have used butternut but it gets dark too quick. cherry looks good. but the wood darkens in time and the burn disappears.
glad yo uliked the eagles.

Beautiful piece of art there. I also love the Eagle and have many eagle objects here in my computer room. I even carved the head of an eagle once just to try my luck at carving.
