Re: WIP Pietersite bird
The detail in that extended wing is gorgeous. This one's going to be really something, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Re: WIP Pietersite bird
I'm loving it Kurt, and the tail looks fine to me, although not seeing it in hand I can't see what you do. I love the detail in the feathers, and look forward to seeing your solution for the bail.

Re: WIP Pietersite final cut
I usually dont like that kind of pietersite! Completely void of yellow, and red has hardly any chatoyancy, yet perfect for this project. OK, I think I'm done with the cutting. Now back to sanding. Found a way to hide hole for cord at the back of the head. Should be done soon. Looks like there is a second bird sitting on the blue moon

Re: WIP Pietersite final cut
That's so pretty Kurt, and you'll have to show us how you managed to place the cord hole so it's invisible.

You've got a home run here Kurt!

Re: WIP Pietersite DONE and showing hidden hole
OK, polish done. Will revisit with toothpick in the future as there are some grooves that remain as a blemish.
Here is the hidden hole, allowing wearing sideways as well as straight on (balance on both).
Should I ever have the money, that hole can be used as additional fixturepoint for setting without hindering design.
Here some quick pictures
Will try to get better ones when walking the dogs this afternoon.
