Beautiful Allison, love the choice of woods and yes, the “3d beak” if fantastic. The heron looks like it is ready to take off from wall!!!
Great job and thanks for sharing.

Fantastic job again Allison. Your pieces are what inspired me to try Intarsia. Collecting wood and pattern, getting ready to begin. ( now that I have my shop back )

The 3D effect is staggering.

Great job.

Allison I would love to see you do some marquetry I think you would love it and I think you would be a natural. PS I love all of your work.

-- Billp

Beautiful!

I like the effect of the birds head extending out of the background.

I’ve had the blue heron on my list of to do carvings in the future.

It’s a very majestic looking bird.

They leave their large footprints along our beach almost every morning.

allison…

beautiful heron. all those woods! all those parts! i love it.

we have herons up here (in maine). they love those little farm ponds. blue herons, actually.

it’s the only one of your projects i’ve looked so far at as i write this, but i’m looking forward to browsing through them. i’ve never tried intarsia, coz i can’t draw worth a lick.

i just got a garage-sale saw scroll saw ($20), and it’s undergoing rehab right now. then i have to figure out what kind of blade fits it. i’ll give the intarsia a try eventually. that’s what they make patterns for, right?

i’ll write again after seeing what else you’ve been working on.

Very nice Allison.Love the way you blended your woods together.

-- Dustygirl..Hastings,Ontario.. How much wood can 1 gal chuck if 1 gal can't cut wood?

That is a great job. I love the way you blended the wood patterns to make the bird. excellent
