INSTRUCTIONS

Copy the pattern and transfer it to the selected stock, attaching it with spray adhesive. Bore blade entry holes in the waste areas of the pattern. Make all cuts, beginning with the inner inlay pieces in the hawk, then cutting the outer inlay piece. Repeat this procedure with the remaining inlay pieces in the feathers and frame. Sand thoroughly and round over all sawn pieces with 220 grit sandpaper.

Referring to the photograph, stain the inlay pieces with the Accent stains. Using a hobby knife and continuing to refer to the photograph, score the wings, tail feathers, and eye, and carve the background mountains. Hint: all incomplete cuts are scored to prevent the stain from bleeding from one area to the other. Apply the Oil Stains to the hawk to add detail to the silhouette. Note: when using the Dark Walnut stain for feather details, if a mistake is made use the lighter colored stain to wash out the dark one while still wet. Then reapply the dark stain detail.

When the inlay pieces are dry, glue all pieces back into place. It may be helpful to mark the back of each inlay piece to ensure an accurate fit when reassembling the pieces. Add hanger of choice and enjoy! ^
