Been a busy busy 2nd half of the year. i have now carved over 500 total Polish Eagles in various styles between the Etsy store, the Village craft store, and Polish Festivals. This is by far this year's most popular Polish Eagle with over 90% having personalized family names carved. Also had a request for a memorial plaque. The man was a devoted Arizona Cardinals and Toronto Blue jays fan. Measures 14 x 21, cut from 5/4 oak and the swirley font and text was picked by the buyer.

You always do such nice work, John! And apparently quite prolific, as well.

Thanx

Scott said I was the best of the worst students he has had. Wish I could have spent more time up there with him. He's a wealth of knowledge and knows a lot of little "tricks".

Not me, that's for sure. I can't paint a wall with a roller.

You sure as heck didn't do that painting with a roller. Nice work and the birds look great too.

Not hard to see why the Eagles are a big seller, they’re beautiful! I would not have picked up on the sports team tie in to the second one. I woulda thunk someone liked birds or was an outdoors person.

Artie, I just did what the lady wanted. I'm assuming (that's dangerous) it will be a decorative wall hanging that has a special subtle meaning to the recipient. It was liked and paid for.
