[Woodcarver] Fwd: Songbird leg locations

[Joe Dillett]

I've found a good location for bird's legs, and other stuff, in Big Dogs catalog. hehehe 

Actually, there was a fellow at the Dayton Show who had very detailed patterns of all types of birds complete with dimensions in different poses. Not having an interest in carving realistic birds I never took this fellow's card. Perhaps someone on the List was at the show and took his card? Each bird pattern was a whole packet if information, I talked with him. All those patterns were his own original designs. They looked awesome.

  Good Evening Friends in Carving -


  A carver from MI asked the following:


    Matt,
        I have carved several songbirds and have been reluctant to attach the legs because I am not sure of the proper location. I have looked in all my books and no one gives any info on how to properly locate them on the body. I thought Wildfowl Carving & Collecting once had an article about this, but I've not located the source. It's 65 miles one way to the nearest library that has study skins, so wanted to try some other resource before spending the time and gas to do that.
    Do you know of any source for the info I need? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
