thanks, FYI,
this is an actual size carving I was commissioned to do for the IJAMS NATURE CENTER in Knoxville, Tennessee. The carving was blessed by the wife, whom actually saw one of these birds too, of James Tanner, one of the only folks in the USA, to film the Ivory Bill in the mid 1930's.

Love your carvings Randy, there is a lot of controversy over this bird, I hope its extinct. Thanks
