USE WOCDBURNJNG PEN FOR DETAIL ON NOSTRIL AND EYEBROW

Step 14. All that remains is final detailing and finishing. As noted on the pattern, a woodburning pen is used to add the nostril and eyebrow detail. Use a pen with a fine tip—you don't want to ruin your work at this point.

For the finish, first spray the back with three or four coats of Krylon Matte Finish No. mi. Then attach a sturdy hanger with screws. Our pattern suggests a hanger location, but you should alter this if needed to achieve the proper angle. The eagle should look like he's about to snatch a prize trout from a pristine mountain lake!

Next, give the face of the project five or six light coats of Krylon. Sand lightly with 400-grit paper, dust off and apply a final coat. When dry, apply a little gloss finish to the eye, for a lifelike tw inkle.

Hang your masterpiece, step back and admire your work!
