The Junco was carved by Jack D. Royer, an avid bird feeder,
watcher and carver. The pine branches are the result of the technique
recently described in a post to the Woodcarver Listserve.
Over all the sculpture is 16" high and 12" wide. The
bird is carved from jelutong. A combination of conventional tools
such as bench knife and chisels were used also a Fordum and Gesswine
power tools were used. The bird is painted with oil paints and
the branches are painted with acrilics. The material used in the
branch is brass rods, tubing, copper wire and ribbon epoxie. The
base is walnut.
