Another bird about 5" tall

Made from: Pine bench leg, small pool ball and a scrap of beech.

Paul,

at first I thought the beak was a Golf Tee, maybe that's a thought for the next one.

I sometimes see Pool Balls etc at car boot sales, maybe I'd better think about them differently in the futyre.

A novel idea that certainly works for me, well done and thanks for posting.

That one had us all laughing! Brilliantly simple and a really good finish on the pine.
