American Spirit

We have the spirit and strength to rise above all the difficulties that we're facing today. Our United States is the greatest country in the world and we should be proud. Our road to freedom has been long and perilous, let's not forget our heroes and warriors that helped make our country so great. -David W.

David's Carved Eagles-John Bellamy Style

Here is a recent carving of David's in the style of John Bellamy carved eagles. The original was finished in gold leaf but this one was finished with a gold acrylic paint and sealed with a clear matte finish for protection. The basswood eagle is 3/4 inches thick, 9 inches wide and 19 inches long. The first photo is the eagle carved in basswood with no finish. The second photo is the eagle painted with gesso. The third photo is the eagle painted with the gold acrylic paint and sealed with the clear matte finish.
