The purpleheart body and legs were turned then carved. The head is turned satinwood and purpleheart. The 47 tines are carved from 1"x 1" holly.The row of yellow feathers are satinwood. The 130 other feathers are all carved from different kinds of wood.The most difficult thing in making the piece was figuing out how to structure the piece to be lightweight yet stable. Also a lot of time was taken figuring out the feather angle when glued in place. The piece is 60" x 36" x 6" . I will answer the question everyone asks now. About a month.
