That pheasant looks great Charles. Pheasant hunting here in South Dakota is big in the fall. How many hours to cut it? If I started last week I might finish by Oct.  :) Brian

Looks beautiful, but getting very fragile.  How do you keep it together?

Looking great Charles.  What are you using for a zero clearance hole?  Looking forward to seeing this one completed.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Looking very nice Charles.  Good luck on the last part.  Looks pretty delicate from the picture.

Thanks.  Believe it or not so far the only scary (flexible) spot I've found is just to the left of the foot hanging down.

Charles it looks great. How thick is the wood and what size spiral do you use?

Thanks again.  I am stack cutting two 1/8 inch pieces of birch ply and I am using #5 spirals.  I could use #3's but they break easier lol.
