New Release - Study Casts

Earlier this week (April 12) I picked up my first batch of study casts for my latest bird carving. That would be the Eastern Blue Jay. This was a great bird to carve and turn into a study cast.

I have spent a number of winters now watching this guy out my kitchen window during the winter months all puffed up and in this restful posture. I finally had a chance to create this bird in wood. Of course, it didn't hurt being pushed to come up with a study cast of the Blue Jay. KV Woodcarving Supply is keeping me on my toes with requests for new casts and books.

This study cast is of a life size Eastern Blue Jay. I am selling these for $40.00 plus shipping & handling. You can also pick one up from any of the retailers I work with. You can get this list from the links page on my website http://www.simchuk.com/24401.html.

A week after I sent the Blue Jay in for molding and casting, I was able to finish a Screech Owl carving. Of course, this bird was well on it's way to being completed before I started working on the Jay.

I was able to get a few study casts of this Screech Owl at the same time I picked up the Blue Jays. Next week I will get the remainder of my initial order.

This is a life size Screech Owl study cast. I based it on a Western, however it can be used as an Eastern as well. I am selling this cast for $47.50 plus shipping & handling.

I plan to have instructional books available to compliment both of these casts in the future. The Screech owl book will be available around October time frame while the Jay will be early next year.

To see the other study casts and books I have available please go to my carving & art products page on my website http://www.simchuk.com/24546.html.
