those are looking outstanding Ron. That's a pretty cool idea with the half decoys.

I learned that back in the 80's after I finished a bird and the wood checked on one side. I cut the bad side off and mounted it in a picture frame ( with plywood behind to hold it). It works nice if you have a damaged decoy. Half can be used front or side etc.

I was happy to finish this one tonight. I dread doing hens but Steve Sanford has such great info. I sent the picture to some friends and they couldn’t ID it though. Lol.

It's been at least 6 years since I mounted a duck, had to rewatch some videos to remember some stuff. Some things that I couldn't quite get right in the pose how I wanted it but it's gonna be good for now as I get back into the hang of it.

that's beautiful. I haven't mounted very many birds, but enough to know how difficult it is. I mostly mounted deer heads and largemouth bass.

I've got this half dozen harlequin gunners all sealed up. I'll put the eyes in this afternoon then their ready for a couple coats of primer. I'll take them over to my daughter Jheri's for one of her awesome paint jobs. ( I did an extra bird just in case).

When I was picking up on the juvenile hunt I noticed this wood duck’s paint had blistered up and separated from the block. My son is chipping it down to bare wood so we can reseal and get her back in the rig.
