American Woodcock One-day Carving Class: second session

Roosting Woodcock (Scolopax minor) carved of wood and painted to suggest live birds' plumage. This carving appears to be roosting (sitting on the ground). It has a long beak, a pale brown head with a darker brown eye-line and chin line and dark patches across its crown. It has darker brown wings with patchy white wing bars and even darker brown flecks. Its breast and belly are a medium brown with slightly yellow patches.

Carve and paint an American Woodcock with Dave Tuttle during this one-day carving class. Wood blank and paint provided.

All levels welcome. Great for adults and teens. Younger kids need parental permission. Great skill-building for Scouts and 4-H.

Bring tools, gloves, and lunch. (Contact us if you will need tools or gloves.)

Must register and pay in advance: $40 for Museum and GMWC  members • $50 for everyone else. Museum and GMWC members may receive their member discount as a refund at the door or use the code sent to their email.
