After much pondering, I decided  I  need to change the original pose.  The photo on the left shows the antler cut to stand on its own and the beginning of shaping the right wing.  The hawk was to be looking up.  The neck was too long, too thin and just didn't feel right.   I reconsidered and cut off about two inches and also removed the long tine where the left wrist is located.  Because of the basic shape of the antler base, the bird will be looking  left.
