Sam. Bird

For the last 2 or 3 years I have worked with Sam McKamie of Arkansas. The birds he carves are wonderful and are very reasonably priced. I often buy a few (or several) at a time. Several months ago I made some of the “Mushrooms” and placed a dowel in the center of each. Today I placed one of Sam’s birds on one the dowels, mounting it onto the “Mushrooms”? The bird was totally carved and finished by Sam. I made the “Mushroom”.—photos were taken in the studio/garage–poor lighting.

Sam McKamie’s Bird

Here is the latest one I am working on—-I saw a few mistakes I must correct so there are very few pictures. I love being back to working with the birds carved by Sam McKamie. I work on them a little and paint them in 1-Shot paint.
