BELLAMY-STYLE EAGLE
May 2 - 9:00 am 4:30 pm
Fee: $150.00 (includes cutout)

This class will be a Bellamy-Style Eagle. The carving will be two pieces of Butternut wood. The wings are 36" long, 6" wide and about 1 3/8" thick. The wood will be clamped to a table and carved using long handled tools and a mallet. The head/neck is carved with short and long handled tools.

The class is set up for three days of carving, but if you can't carve all days, you can get much done in two days.

Bring what you have for long and short handled tools. We have many extra sets of tools available for use in this class, so please don't let the tools needed be of any concern. This is an excellent class for you to try your hand at mallet carving. Limit of 12 students.
