Weldalot

Well you're both not far out but done from scratch, everything cut for this one. I built the frame on Saturday morning, cut and added the wing feathers and filled in the frame to attach feathers and made and attached the talons. 6 hours Monday cut all feathers and attached and formed beak. Made and fixed grass snake Made mounting 4 hours This one going out for £1600 so real good profit if you can sell them . Im keeping my day job though.......

Tell you what...have a guess how long it took. Im kinda interested in hearing how long folks think it takes purely for sales research and pricing my work Thanks Ramsay

This is my latest creation a Kestrel catching a Grass Snake. I have just completed it and its of to an large estate house for display at their summer art festival

That tree stump is fantastic... I make birds from steel and am just about to start doing a tree as a perch and so glad I looked at yours...perfect. Simple and so effective. mine would have ended up to complicated. Really love yours ...Great

Yes it just 1mm mild steel and feathers individually cut with the plasma and welded on. Once finished I either let them rust a while or like this one leave it and spray it with Waxoil which darkens it slightly but keeps it "fresh"

Well its for sale......

Thanks, this is just one of many of my birds of prey, ive become a bit obsessed with making them. This one took about 300 hours including the fish. Im on with a Kestrel at the moment and hope to have it finished this week. They are a labour of love

This is a life size Osprey sculpture with fish I made for a local Osprey viewing centre

This is one of the fish I make for my bird of prey sculptures
