Carving and Painting a Male Cardinal Session 1 - Carving The Bird

[@davidhogge7865]

Hey Tom, glad to see you are finally doing a songbird.

Thanks David!

Really enjoyed the Cardinal carving. I too have not had birds at my feeder this season. Last year I had four pairs of Cardinals all winter. Thanks again, I am going to try this.

Thanks, I hope you find it helpful! I’m not sure it helps- to be determined - but it’s a lot of fun trying anyway! 😁

This looks like this will turn out quite well. Thank you. Bruce Brandeberry

Thanks Bruce! Happy with the results for my first attempt at a Cardinal.

Nice looking bird. I am looking forward to seeing the painting series on this one. Snow has been slight so I am looking forward already to the ODCCA show in the spring.

Tom thanks for trying right side video, I think it will still work ,you should try pointing the camera higher over you shoulder and more towards your table . Just a thought Tom . I’m not a cameraman but I think it would be fun to try . Tom your so so helpful in carving techniques. I’m still working on redhead drake . Using godin pattern.

[@tomchristieart]

Will keep experimenting Greg! Thanks as always for the feedback.

Thanks enjoyed the cardinal session! Are you going to show if birds gather around the decoy ?

[@tomchristieart]

That's the plan Hunter! We’ll see if the Cardinal helps or just scares birds away! 😄

[@SOLT_Mark]

You'll have birds in no time Tom

[@tomchristieart]

Thanks Mark! Our feeder is close to the house on our upper deck so it may take a while. Some snow might help too but not rooting for that to happen until Christmas! 😁
