Eagle relief carving early in the modeling stages.

This is the other relief carving with an Eagle.  Disregard the Celtic cross, it's not part of the Iowa Project.

The carving partially carved in Limestone.

Another photograph during carving

all six panels on the West front were unique. Four had Eagles, but not of the same design.

Here's a photo of the other two panels.  Both have a shield but each is a unique design.

We produced a dozen or more corner brackets like this one and several hundred single brackets.
