thats very interesting, was this an original idea or did someone come to you with the idea

Thanks! I actually got the idea about the matchsticks when I was a kid in an orphanage. The superintendent had a cane of matches that was made by someone in prison. The rest was an original idea and just sort of developed as I went along. The beak, eyes and collar were figured out while making the piece. Which is kind of what happens to most of my pieces. I will start off in one direction and everything ends up totally different than I thought it should. I had just made my first and only pipe (I will post later) and so I had pipe/cane on my mind.

I sure like that match stick work really amazing
