Project Information
This Project was made by my very good but computer challenged friend Bill Barkley of Fresno California. This Life sized replica has approximately 300 hours of work into it. Bill uses many tools power and hand to make this type of design. He has sold many of these at the Tamson Munger Gallery He will gladly take pre orders for these or similar Hummingbirds. The entire project is made of wood the plant is hand carved from wood and is Painstakingly assembled and then finished with Paints to resemble a real plant The bird its self is three pieces the glue joints are invisible. Bill is a disabled Veteran of the Vietnam war where he served as an Officer and Platoon Commander in the United States Army. Bill is also an accomplished woodworker in all aspects of the craft from furniture making to cabinets to things just like this. I asked him if I could post this for him he was reluctant because he is very modest. However I was so taken with this piece live that I had to photograph it. I used the 12 mp Nikon with a 15 75 lens and used no filters to soften it what I tried to do was to capture how good it looks live I hope you all love Bills work as much as I do. Cheers Lance and Bill
