Detail from Magpie Crest, Limewood.

I carved this almost exactly a year after I first picked up a carving tool - and I still like it.
The surname 'Pye' comes from the old French for a Magpie: 'Maggie' is the pet name for the bird which is a 'Pie' - black and white. It is famous for stealing rings and jewellery.
