Seems I just have to have something to keep me busy all the time and I was thinking of another something out of wire after I finished the helicopter and thought an eagle catching a fish would be interesting - so here it is. Small gauge brass wire, brass mesh filter screen for the wings and a chunk of wood from the walking trial for a base. The fish is my very first wood carving though I have made other things and shapes from wood like a propeller. I used my Dremel MotoSaw to cut the fish from a piece of redwood. I liked the dark over light wood piece I used to make the fish belly look better. The other tool was my 4300 Rotary tool to shape the fish after I blocked it out with the MotoSaw.

Hi Phrogflyer,
Thanks for making our community interesting. I really enjoy your projects. The brass mesh worked great for the eagle's wings. And thanks for pointing out the two toned colored fish, I don't think I would have caught that (pun intended). We appreciate you sharing it with us!

Thank you Peggy. I am a poor photgrapher and do not have proper lighting to show things as they really look. Here is a better photo to show the fish colors.

Well, I wasn't fishing for another photo (pun intended), but I'm certainly glad you sent this one. This photo does bring out the colors of the fish better and being that's this is your first fish carving, it is very good. Thank you!
