Here are a couple photos of a parrot I made for myself.
I was kinda thinking that the parrot should be have a boat or be on a boat, at least that was the idea for the base shape. The Base is just a some old growth 2" Fir that I salvaged and need to put a finish on it.
The copper is 1" for the body with 1 1/2" pipe that I put bottoms on for the cups, 1/2" for the for tail and 3/8" for the beak
Im starting to really enjoy working with copper and I am beginning to think that fittings are not necessary.
