Great decoys guys...Like the artistic approach Dave. Hen's are always tough for me. Here's the Wood Duck I posted a while back. All dressed up now.

Hollow cedar with with a Jelutong head...

Good looking bunch of birds Jode. You are doing better than I with the kids. Can't get either of mine to catch the bug. I've got a bunch of different species on the bench, but these Blair style bluebills are ready for paint...

Ed I've done some demos at various shows over the years. If I had to guess I would say the next time I do one will be at an upcoming Midwest Decoy Collectors Association show in St. Charles, IL sometime in the next few years. You can check out info on the show at the following address...

Darin - That is looking good. You just have to dive in. Here's a pair mergs recently finished...hooded variety.

Pat is probably out on the road to his Canada hunt. I'm sure he will check in here at some point. He will have some good info for you.

Thanks Mike...Those knives are awesome. I enjoyed seeing the decoys you posted a while back too. I hunted your Barrows and Old Squaw on Lake Michigan last year. The Antler tail is still intact! Sure looks cool sticking up like that riding the waves...

These Redheads are for Pat Gregory. Complete with keels per Pat's request...they are Brazilian Cherry with poured lead internal ballast. Decoys are cedar with oils. [/URL]

More Redhead Photos on the September thread...

Wow Pat...you are a machine. I love to see the armies lined up like that. I finished up the St. Charles Ruddy. Working on some hooded mergs now.

He'll look like this when I'm finished...

Thanks for the pictures Pat. Always a great show... Tell David Robinson he still owes me $50 for his private lesson.

Recent Buffles...

David I have always enjoyed your photos. Please make sure you keep us on your list for regular postings. I assure you, that you have as appreciative of an audience here, as you will find anywhere.

Hey Al... The Widgeon is a Jim Schmiedlin decoy and the two Wood Ducks are Sean Sutton decoys. Mr. Hays is quite the decoy collector, and he is actually hunting those beautiful birds. Wonderful to see them in their natural habitat. Check out the recent teal below from Sean's...
