Worked on this piece for a whole two weeks! Its my Favorite wood carving! I also have this filmed on youtube! check it out:

It all started from a fishing trip. It was March in Homer, AK. You can’t help but notice all the eagles on the shoreline in March. They flock like the geese in the Mississippi River Basin. I saw eagles in every expresion immaginable. I observed one eagle grab a fish and take it to shore. As I was eatting breakfast at a local restaurant and sipping on a hot cup of captain’s coffee I was startled by the famous cackle of a another bald eagle as I was looking with many others at two eagles fighting over herreing(small fish) in mid flight. It was another awe inspiring display of God’s creation.
So I decided to carve the sculpture you see above. Purely one chainsaw purely one piece of spruce carved in one weekend. This is simply my favorate piece. One of my friends keeps asking about this one but to be honest I just can’t let it go. I’ve had it for a year now. This is one wood carving I think I may keep for myself.
