Carving the Common Loon
with Michael McCune
$85
The Common Loon is an iconic bird of Maine and of lakes all over New England. With its distinctive black head, red eye, and beautifully patterned black-and white body, it’s a striking sight as it floats belly-deep in lakes and ponds. Students should bring a minimum of a ¾” straight chisel, a 7mm #9 gouge, an 8mm #7 fishtail gouge and a 12mm #5 gouge or equivalent. Students are also encouraged to look for as much reference material as possible to aid in carving and painting. The instructor will supply basswood blanks, eyes, paints, and brushes. A $35 materials fee is to be paid to the instructor. Class skips 11/28.
