Hello Mark! I just stumbled upon your channel, great stuff! I may try my hand at carving to fill the time, since everyone is staying home and "social distancing" themselves lately lol!

Do u ever make your own bird legs? I recently carved a crow & cannot find feet for it especially for in flight position

[@markdmaker3173]

That is a great question. A lot of people in the competition world especially the more experienced carvers all make their own legs and feet. There are a few KZbin videos out there on how to make them. This is a video I plan on making soon. By the way when you said you’re carving a crow I got excited. I love crows and ravens.

hi. where do you buy the supplies for the eyes and feet?

[@markdmaker3173]

Thanks for your question. Most wood carving supply companies sell decoy eyes and cast pewter feet. Sugar pine wood carving supplies is where I get most of my stuff from. You can also buy eyes from taxidermy supply catalogs

Woodglut has a lot of designs to choose from.
