machining a house bird for display

I wanted a bird for a book case shelf and decided to machine one out ,but no matter what feed rates I picked I could get this bird done in less than
4 hrs.
I feel the cost of this bird it would never sell ,i always like to look at what things cost to build,this would be better carved out by hand.
Mind you i could have changed the step over on the finish cut, i used 8%
Even though it was quite a block of wood

Then me thought the dust grew denser

As the bird was cut by an unseen senser ......think I would change "house bird " to "raven"

well ,now that you have said that it does look like a raven, i just called it a house bird,not to get to specific

I think it would make a nice addition to a home library,if there is a suitable material that cuts faster.

maybe foam,but i used basswood and you can cut that fast
