Eagle talons are complicated and difficult to carve. This is why almost every carved eagle you find has some sort of stylized version. I found a pretty good picture online of a close up view of an eagle talon and tried to reproduce it. Here’s the result.
It was a challenge. Most of it was pretty easy. Getting the texture or bumps on the skin turned out too difficult and I was forced to use a negative texture instead of the bumps.
John,
Do you have replicas available? I am a Scouter (BSA) and have a use if available.
Look’s great,
DT
Sorry Don, I don’t have any replicas. This is a one-of-a-kind piece.
