Peacock

I certainly devise clever, catchy titles for
my pieces, don't I? Peacock is a perfect
example. Despite all that, it's a design
that I enjoy immensely and it's a bit
more challenging than "Pachyderm"
and "Swan" are to carve. The photos
you're seeing on these pages show the
goose eggs at larger than actual size, so
some of the cuts on this egg are very
close together. I extended the ground
around the egg and, to reflect the
peacock's natural haughty look, I carved
a "fleur de lis" type of emblem on the
back of the egg.
