Well it's done. So many hours gone. It's been the bane of my life for the last two weeks. So many broken branches! Hand carved from boxwood (bird and leaves) walnut (branches) and oak (scrolls).

@ColinWoodArt

Pretty awesome. It reminds me of the Daoist story of someone who spent years of his life learning how to carve jade leaves to the point where people couldn't tell the difference between his creation and nature's just by looking at them.

@ColinWoodArt Amazing. It's so delicate. The leaves are incredible. The bird's feet are sublime. I can almost feel what it would be like to have them wrapped around my finger.

@ColinWoodArt That's so nice!
How many distinct pieces of wood went into this?
Show threadColin VenturaFeb 26
@14mission Thanks. There are four pieces of wood. Two different pieces of boxwood, one for the bird, and one that became all the leaves. All the branches are from one piece of walnut, and the two side pieces are carved from a piece of oak.
