Red Cedar Cardinal
Here I go posting again here. I will continue to post until I have every post on the first page and Joe bans me. Lol!
I found a red cedar tree that fell in my back woods. The red color reminded me of the male cardinal. So off to aspire I went after I cut a few logs from it. Really happy with how this model came out. Here is the finished product all from one log.

Looks really great Bill.
Tell some about the bits you used.

Re: Red Cedar Cardinal
Thanks Bill. I only used 2 bits. 1/4” up cut for 3D rough and final profile. 1/16” taper ball nose for final 3D cut.bill z wrote:Looks really great Bill.

Re: Red Cedar Cardinal
It looks amazing. How did you get the tail feathers to look so flawless?
Re: Red Cedar Cardinal
Very nice! Makes me want Aspire.
Re: Red Cedar Cardinal
Thanks! I started with a drawing that I found. Then I looked at a lot of photographs of cardinals. The tail feathers were actually one of the last tweaks that I did.Caffeen wrote:It looks amazing. How did you get the tail feathers to look so flawless?
You too can do this for $1400 and several hundred hours of screen time. Lol, a model like this is probably something you can do after a few tutorials and get reasonable results.Todd05060 wrote:Very nice! Makes me want Aspire.

Here’s a smaller version with a different background that I added in. Soaking it in Mineral oil.
