I had spent a good ten years developing my bird carving skills when I decided to carve a house wren. For a mount I carved a wrinkled old boot and the rest is history. I enjoy doing both types of carvings but there is more fun doing a stylized boot.
Tupelo wood was the main wood and acrylics where the paints used.
Enjoy!

Hi Roman, that looks just about as worn as my boots, seriously great carving and for some reason the bird looks natural to be with that boot. I will chalk that up to a great vision you had in this project.

Now that is some fantastic carving and painting skills !!
It reminds me of a small bird “sculpture” that I own : )
How much are you going to sell it for ?

Roman… are you saying that this is the boot that started it all? I love the combination of bird and boot and I bet with the stand removed, folks would have to study it hard to see it was all wood. Great piece.

Spoontaneous – It is one of the prototypes. There were many refinements to today’s boots!
