I have documented the steps it took to make this piece below.
10/12/2016 - I went to Clark's exotic woods today and purchased a plank of tamarind.
I plan on cutting shapes out of it to make my next pigeon.

Armature and a lot of wood feathers cut.
Wood armature body and leg muff for support. It is missing the head.
Head attached and 1 tailfeather added.

Pile of wood ready to turn into feathers. A little intimidating.

I think I should call him the "tamarind inversion pigeon".
