The Eagle head is no complete. It is made from butternut and is power carved. (my first one). I work on it for approx. 3 months 1 night a week 2.5 hours a class. I am very pleased with it. I am already getting requests for more. Enjoy. -- www.carvingandturningsbyrick.com, Rick Kruse, Grand Rapids, MI | |||||||
