postleg Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It's been awhile since I've posted. I had a guy come by the shop a while back asked if I could make a Canadian Goose. I can now say yes, yes I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkie Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Nice goose! Almost life size. :-) The eyes look almost lifelike, the feathers are kool.(BTW, they are Canada Geese, not Canadian Geese)...I know, picky, picky, picky. But after hunting them for years, I was corrected by some biologists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I just had a gander at that, and I'm very impressed. A great goose! Love the way you have forged the eye. Heat colours very effective.Some more details please! Head and neck solid? Body obviously isn't!Top job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postleg Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yes the head and neck were made from 1 3/4 in solid bar. The body and wings are hammered and shaped cold then welded together. Started with the head and tried to make the rest in proportion. It is not quite life size but the anvil is a 209 lb Hay Budden. The guy wanted a flock of 4 or 5 mounted on the side of his house. He lives by a lake and and is friends with a guy that has been buying fish sculptures I've made. Who now wants a large snapping turtle to go with the fish. Looking forward to get started on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
