Bellamy Eagle woodcarving roughouts

Description

Offered here are roughouts for carving "Bellamy" style eagles.  The Bellamy style was made famous by John Bellamy in ME during the mid 1800's .
They are made for hanging on the wall. There is space for a flag under the head, between the wings.
Each roughout i
s different to some extent including size.  They are offered in  Basswood and Butternut.
When you select a specific roughout from the drop down list titled "Variations"  you will see a
picture representative of the roughout you will be getting, not the actual one,  as I sell these locally as well.
If you want a picture of the actual roughout you will get please message me in advance of ordering and tell me which model you are interested in.
1A & 2A2 Roughout is made of 2 pieces of wood as the head is a separate piece that can be screwed on during carving process and glued on when ready. The wings/flag  piece is cut from a piece that is 1 1/8 inch thick. The head is cut from a piece 2 inch thick
Roughout  2B2 is made of 4 pieces with the 3rd and 4th pieces being glued on to the wing tops to give extra thickness to the wings so the wings are about 2 1/8 inch thick at the top and taper down to the bottom. You can see
in the pictures
for
2B2
how much deeper that makes the wings.
The head is cut from a piece 2 inch thick .
I have drilled and screwed the head on to the  roughouts to facilitate  the roughing out. It will ship with the head off and I suggest  you start your carving process with the head off.  The screws are included when I ship your roughout.
I include a CD that goes in your computer with images of various Bellamy eagles that my students have done  from these roughouts as well as others.  If you don't have a DVD/CD player on your computer message me after ordering and I will send some digitally to you.  It also comes with a paper pattern which provides a simple feather layout. Other feather layouts can be seen on the  eagles on the CD.
I do have a few books on carving Bellamy style eagles that while not having this particular pattern in them, does give guidance on carving Bellamy style eagles which would be very useful to you. Message me for more info and a  quote on the book and rounghout combination

Each  roughout has slightly different grain patterns and "character" - they re a "natural" product.
Plus they are all slightly different in shape as I rough out with hand operated rotary tools - no computer control here.
Make your selection at the drop down list titled "Variations" near the top of this page next to the picture - it will then show you  a representation of the roughout you will get.
If you want more than one or a different eagle pattern message me.
If you need tools for these I recommend a 3/4 to 7/8 inch wide #7 or # 9 , a 3/4 inch wide  #3 gouge and a V tool, all  of which I can provide - just request a quote before ordering a roughout and I can provide as 1 package at no additional shipping cost.
