Dear Matt,
   If you have the time could you or someone you know give me a 
source for carving the wing (folded) feathers on a couple of 
seagulls? I'm very much an amateur but I enjoy power carving a great 
deal.
   I'm carving these out of butternut for my two granddaughters. 
There won't be a lot of detail but I want to delineate the wing 
feathers just a little anyway.  (I'm going to paint them with 
acrylics when finished.)
   Any online sources/pictures/books you can think of would be appreciated.
