Mustached Walter Rush, 35, well-known in the Port Carling district for his artistic talent, carves the eye-catch- ing Canadian birds from drift- wood and white birch. He uses simple tools, pre- ferably those made from dis- carded hacksaws and old files, as he dislikes modern tools. His interest in carving birds grew out of his boy- hood hobby of building mo- del airplanes, which he often designed and constructed himself instead of buying a kit. Old magazine pictures, descriptive sketches and his own vivid creative imagina- tion all figure extensively in the sculpturing of ideas for carving. He often sits for hours in the nearby woods, observing the habits and movements of popular birds. Mr. Ruch says he has carved nearly every Canadian bird known to him in recent years.
