Eastern Towhee Wood Carving
Description
These towhees live in brushy areas across eastern North America; northern birds migrate to the southern U.S. Their call sounds very similar to their name. This carving is about 12 x 6 x 2 cm (5 x 2.3 x 1 inch).I use knives and chisels, not a power carver, to finish shaping the basswood. This technique gives crisper details. It is sanded smooth, and an airbrush or watercolor brush used to apply water-based inks, with some details being burned In. It is finished with 3 coats of water-based urethane, and signed and dated on the bottom.
Within the one inch thickness, using carving and painting techniques, I suggest a more fully round figure. It is a unique style, which I have developed over more than 30 years.
Though I use non-toxic materials, it is not designed as a toy for children.
Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoy this sculpture which is entirely designed and created by myself.
