Just finished this carving off today with a little bit of orange paint for the beak and the feet......

The customer wanted an aggressive looking goose for her collection of farm animals

 

Im a little unsure of the strength in the neck, i have carved it a little thicker than what it should be, but hopefully it will retain its strength.

Whats stopping you? but the south is expensive & too hot in summer, can go over 40 degrees here.

Thanks Si I'm just hoping the neck holds out once the customer has the carving.
