FREE Article Preview: Carve a Nashville Warbler
When in Nashville...
From: The Winter 2019 issue of Wildfowl Carving Magazine

When acclaimed carver Al Jordan planned a carving class he would teach in Nashville, Tennessee, the choice of bird was a no-brainer. "Obviously, when you're in Nashville and a warbler is the subject, it has to be a Nashville warbler," he writes in the Winter 2019 issue of Wildfowl Carving Magazine.
In the Winter issue, Al explains how to carve the brightly colored bird. (He will demonstrate his painting techniques in the Spring issue).
“The Nashville warbler tends to be on the smaller side,” Al explains. "It is overall shorter in length, with an average wing chord and a shorter tail. As with any bird you carve, gathering reference materials is very important. Surround yourself with as much as you can find. You will be happily rewarded by the end product."
He adds, "The pattern I used for the class was a generic warbler, meaning you can use it for several different birds, as their anatomy is basically the same. There are some subtle differences, though, such as tail length, wing chord, and overall length. It is your responsibility as an artist to know and fully understand your subject."

Al Jordan lives in Rochester, New York, where he is a master falconer. He was the North American shorebird champion in 2008 and the IWCA Shorebird Champion in 2010. Al is also an instructor and judge and the author of Wildfowl Carving Magazine's Half-Size Osprey workbench project.
Al's demo article will include:
• A basic warbler pattern that is applicable for other warblers as well
• Detailed carving instructions
• Closeup photos of each step of the project
