Whittled bird found in the Northwoods WI- I'm drawn to pieces which use minimal descriptive information in the act of whittling to achieve the desired form...it could also be the measure of ones attention span or rudimentary skill~but this bird is singing O<.
I don't think I've seen a mention of Morris Graves here yet. You may know his birds. Not really sculptural, but similar in spirit.

Another drawing from one of my favorite sculptors of birds, Paul Manship.
