Here are four strange birds that prove I do have a whimsical side. I often don’t know what result I’ll get when I first put my knife to a birch branch, but sometimes I end up with nameless birds like these. I hope they’ll bring a smile to your faces! Thanks for taking a peek!

Neat little birds. Most of the time the wood will tell you what it wants to be. Some folks may call you crazy for saying this but it is true. Unlike projects made of boards when you whittle or turn just listen to the wood & it will tell you.

I’m like you in that when I put something on the lathe seldom do I have a preconceived notion of what will come out except if it will be a bowl or candle holder etc.
