The color is so vibrant, Brian chose it because it's similar to the salmon egg color. Thick solid piece of Sitka Spruce, the expression is so alive and wonderful. The eagle does show the 4 salmon egg symbols on it's wing - it has many pieces of Abalone inlays (Mother of pearl). The color really accentuates the natural grain of the wood.
