Ted's Cocks

Ted Dowling (a former chairman of the APT) won the Half Hour Challenge with these great little cockerels whittled from Birch twigs with a Swiss Army knife.
Usually when you cut yourself the maxim is - "Don't bleed on the work".  Ted did nick himself slightly and he could have used the blood on the combs - natural colouring if slightly macabre!  I think you can see a bit on the left-hand tip of the front cock's comb. (If you click on the photos twice they really enlarge.)

What a great little carving. Would be a great project for a new carver or child. I'll have to try it myself. The Bodger's Ball looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for the post!
