> however in the books, just the basics of carving.  I met Upton once

> Another source is the Anthony Hillman book, Carving Decorative Eagles,

> Lastly, Paul White wrote Carving an American Eagle, by Schiffer

> x 12" blank, so it sounds like it is in your size range.  Paul's book 
> covers all the details of carving the eagle, however there is no flag, 
> claws, arrows or other adornments in the pattern.

> Hello all. I am looking for a carving pattern of an American eagle 
> with a wingspan of about 3' to 4' and up to 2' high. Would like one

> with the arrows in one claw and ? in the other. Sources? Please.    
> I want to do a carving and put it over my front door.
>     All help appreciated. Have looked, but did not find one on Lora
