For over forty years, Miles has been creating three dimensional sculptures in wood. Now he has moved his talent into bronze where he can achieve even greater detail and precision in his art.

It is already being acclaimed as one of the most detailed and realistic bronze eagles ever made. The detailed artistry is striking and the size is impressive. Even these pictures do not fully convey the beauty of this piece. Like pictures of the Grand Canyon - it does not compare to seeing the real thing. Come see it!
Miles has always had a passion for the bald eagle and has now been able to create them as he has envisioned they should be. This eagle took a full six months to create and the results speak for themselves.

Work At The Foundry
This piece was even a challenge for the world famous foundry that performed the casting. The eagle required 22 separate molds for the wax castings and required heating the molten bronze to a higher than normal temperature to achieve the high level of detail. The foundry has done a remarkable job casting this piece in bronze.
