The initial day consists of truing up the cutout so it more closely aligns with the pattern. I will also begin shaping the birds body and head.From this photo you can see I'm already starting to round the body (back and wings). Also at this point I have only removed some of the wood above the eyes on the head and identified the location of the cheek patch.
With this initial roughing work I will be able to see if the bird will turn out the way I want for the finished presentation. And, in this case he is coming together as I had envisioned.
