  Good thing too, Tom, since that's your name.  Wouldn't do to have it say, "carved by Ben Franklin" or somebody else.  . . . . .sorry, bad joke.  I'm only on my first cup of coffee.

  Al Hirschfeld "hid" his daughter's name in his drawings by incorporating her name in the sketch somewhere, making it a game for his fans to search for her name.  Since a conventional signature might be obtrusive, I think it would be interesting for a bird carver to come up with a "signature" that could be incorporated into the feathering that could be put in an inconspicuous place, but found by someone who knew what they were looking for--as a kind of proof of authorship--on the carving itself.

  As I said, I'm only on my first cup of coffee.

    I use a brass plate that has been engraved with "carved by Tom Pierce" and screw it to the base that the bird is on.
