Homing pigeon, cherry wood.

This is still a work in progress as I have been carving this cherry for too long now. The cherry tree was being felled in the school where I work to make way for a new building. It was just about to go in the skip when I rescued it and took it home. The trunk split into three parts, so I used the largest part for the background and body, and the two smaller pieces became the wings.

Here I have started to position the wings. I want the faults and splits in the wood to remain in the piece to add texture.
