Herters #81 Goose Renovation - New tail, sleeper head, burlap, Homer coat. Slot cut for the new head Hardboard head centerboard cutout Foam rough cut Homer coat - needs to cure prior to paint

Just bought a transmission - mechanic arranged for me to buy the unit at his price and have the factory warranty in my name. He'll take care of all logistics and installation. I like it when the mechanic and shop owner are the same person ... different world.

Round 1 of my diver rig got painted. These are all blue foam, sandwiched foam heads, burlapped and Homer coated. I tried Steve Sanford's paint process and used his color recommendations. Couldn't get the stipple vermiculation to look good so I used a fan brush. Round 2 are dark cork mallard...

Thanks Worth - Got it!

Did not link to a video for me - just to YouTube in general.

Been stuck in the Orlando airport ALL DAY. Problem is Baltimore thunderstorms though - it's not bad here.

scholl@ccg-llc.us Please send pics and info for broadbill and geese. Thanks.

Very nice ... also love the workshop!

Looking to start a diver rig and have Bluebills in process but don't think I'll have time for Cans ... Let me know if you have any nice gunning grade canvasbacks you'd like to sell. Thanks!

Canvasback question: is that high-head position a relaxed pose for cans? I would tend to make most of my decoys like the drake in picture 3. Planning on making a few before next season so I'll probably do some of both but the lower head position is very outnumbered in these photos.

I'm at work, but for a moment there I was tucked behind an old hemlock ... Thanks!

Hi Steve - none in paint yet, sorry. Maybe in about a month after the coating dries really well I'll have some done. The heads are foam-sandwich over a hardboard center with apoxy sculpt bills. Still lots to learn ... havin' a ball.

Tom - if you could scan and post or email the pattern that would be great. Thanks.

Pat - that's what I was expecting, thanks. Below is how I do my tails currently. This one's ready for sanding and Homer Coat.

Can you post a picture of the back ends - both diagrams show tails and I was not envisioning that on these decoys. I thought they were more like cutting a football in half lengthwise, if that makes sense.

Could you please post the dimensions of those bodies. I like to make a couple foamers like that. Thanks!

Sounds like a great way to hunt turkey ...

Great, thanks. I'll be watching with interest as the 16' comes together.

Did you ever make the 16' boat mentioned in the above thread? How about some pics?
