This is Heffy’s life size Golden Eagle in Flight. He saw the tree he wanted to use when he was 17 years old and planned the project for 21 years before being able to start work on it. He worked on this, pretty much non-stop, for almost two years. The suspension system uses fishing reels with cables hidden in the support tree so that the eagle can be positioned in any angle of flight. The one tree provided all of the wood for the sculpture and display apparatus. Heffy also made a custom transport box to protect the piece.
