Hi Carl, I?m game, let?s do it. Looking forward to it.

Hey Ricky, good to see you my friend. Been a while since I'd had a chance to get back onto the forum. Lou

Championship Wildfowl Carving. 3mpetition, representing skill ... Don McKinlay, Madison, CT. Hooded Merganser ... grouping of Decoy Carving Woods,. Found this with a quick Google search. As I recall, I talked with him at Westlake.

Hi Steve, I talked to him a while ago but don't recall where he lives. He carved a few shorebirds for us a while ago, when Gene owned the Company...pre-96. I still have the patterns and molds but haven't had the time to fire them up. Later partner, Lou

I have a mounted Hen Eider from Maine in my shop. I can always shoot some pics and email them to you. I still don't know how to post pictures on the forum. I used to bot don't recall anymore............doh. Lou

Tom, Didn't get to answering this earlier. We do stock a non skid additive called SharkGrip. I have several folks who have used and and it works well. We stock it but I don't recall the price at the moment. Lou

He is sorely missed. One of my favorite friends. I loved his blackened duck at Westlake.

Steve, The Teal patterns were carved by Keith Mueller. The Woody pattern was carved by Maria Gay (student of Keith's) Mallards were all by Keith except for the Freddy Muhs Mag. Mallards and the Mallard Wing Preener and the Standard Mallard by Bug Shell. Lou

At Cabelas (10 minutes from my shop), they get ammo in 2 days a week if I recall. The same fellas are lined up way ahead of time to be there to get all they want. They are first in line to purchase and clean out the inventory before regular folks can get in. That's hoarding in my book. If...

I cured a past dog next door who used to do the same when i was mowing the lawn. So, when I got to that area and the boxer came to the fence barking, I just turned the mower off and the load back-fire effectively cured him of that. After a few episodes, when I came to mow, he high tailed it to...

Great video. Always wanted to get a tour of his shop. I did get a chance to pick up a pair of his Raptor Silos and their are awesome. Now that I've figured out how to post pics, I'll have to post those pics soon. Lou

Gene and I did a bunch of hunting Black Bellied Tree ducks down in South Texas with our buddy, Fred Bremner. Fred was in charge of the PHD program at Trinity University in San Antonio and had been doing research on those birds for some time. He was successful in setting up 5 self sustaining...

Great job Steve. Impressive. The Restle Decoys never looked that cool. Years ago I bought some from Carl Herscheryl and still have them. Back in the late 80's-early 90's, my buddy, Gene, and I set out to find a decoy company to buy. The first we looked at was Restle and spent a good part...

Sorry but great stuff is not a good alternative for repairs. It's too porous and wants to push the parts away when curing/expanding. It also doesn't hold like you'd expect. Medium thick super glue for a model airplane hobby shop: Jet, Zap/etc. Lou
