Kingfisher
I started this carving of a kingfisher one September and was meant to be given as a Christmas present to my ‘inlaws’. Unfortunately, Dad died at the end of October. We shared a love of gardening, birds and nature, He was always there forhis grandchildren and us, offering wise advice, practical help and quirky musing on the world. He is sadly missed. It now resides in front of his chair where Mam can look on it. The Kingfisher is carved out of an oak turning round and polished with beeswax. The water area has been treated with a white ash stain and lightly lacquered with a satin finish.
