Graceful selling long billed curlew bird

Graceful long billed curlew bird perched on driftwood waiting to catch his next meal
He is 9” long x 2.5 “ wide ... Overall length with driftwood 12”

I first cut out with a selling band saw, shape and hand chisel then hand sand starting with an 80 grit sandpaper down to a final polish with a superfine 5000 grit to achieve a beautiful glossy finish. Preserved and polished with Danish Oil and a beeswax finish. All natural finish, there is nothing else applied to the wood.

Occasionally oil with an orange oil, mineral or olive oil to preserve the finish
