James, A very well told story and welcome treat on a night of insomnia. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Larry! Pat, thank you for the kind words and thats a hell of a bunch to be compare to. I studied a bunch of birds before I drew the pattern. Shourds, Horner,Parker, King and then drew what I thought looked like a good jersey bird. I'm happy with the outcome but I think my next ones will...

Broadbill headed for Long Island. Hollow cedar oils

Thank you Andrew. It's all primed and ready to paint. Got a few in front of it but hopefully next month I'll have it done.

Working on another pair of sprigs. Here's the drake. One more to carve then into paint mode.

Thank you guys. Yes Steve I have to say your shop was inspirational to a few aspects of my new addition. And a few more in the works. That hull is an estuary and I am planning on getting her back into shape this year. Trying to decide to do new ribs, planks and glass or order an all glass...

RL, You are absolutely right. And paired with a good Monte Cristo white label, the possibilities are endless.

Gentlemen, after a few years of freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer I decided to build a room within my shop to heat and cool. To give me a comfortable work space to carve and paint. Here is what I came up with. My big shop is a 30x40 pole building with no insulation. I...

Looks like we're already off to a good start. Here's a pintail I just finished for a customer in Maryland. Hollow cedar and oils with a cherry keel.

Selling part of my rig from this year. Hollow cedar and acrylics. Rigged to hunt with leather loop and pad weight. $200 per pair plus shipping.

Anyone have any herters Brant heads laying around? Looking for 10 of them

Good point Jeff and I feel the same I love the search function, but sometimes I just don't know what I want to look at. Kind of like having a guide with cable. Without it, there's hundreds of channels and I have no idea where to even start. This could be a far fetched idea, just looking for...

After seeing a post this morning and while visiting with Steve Sanford earlier this month, we talked about how great of a site we have here. Respectful and knowledgable people, stories, and a wealth of information regarding the sport we love and everything that goes along with it. Steve...

David, what a great gift. Firstly, I'm no expert. I also consider myself in the beginning stages of my carving career. I'd go with what you can get your hands on. Stop by lumber yards and ask around for scraps of pine and cedar. Ideally you'd want them dry but just get anything to start carving...

Thanks guys. Means a lot. Dave, I was down your way in September. I was wondering if there were many places to duck hunt. While kayaking in lady bird, we had two mallards swim right up to us. I said to my wife, it didn't look like they've been gunned very hard down here lol. John, get...

Thank you very much gentleman, and lady, for the kind words. Chris, no snow. It was cold in the morning but was in general a pretty warm weekend. Phil, that is Wood Island Light. Saco Bay.

This past weekend, my good friend Marc and I set out on our first destination hunt. A coastal Maine eider hunt has been at the top of my bucket list of hunts for some time now and ever since I read Steve Sanfords post last year about hunting with Troy Fields, I knew my plan. I contacted Troy...

Steve, love the bird feeder. I'm sure the birds will appreciate their new rig.

Steve, what a great way to start this beautiful day. Thank you for sharing.

Dani, I know you are looking for a quick easy answer here but, I'd say to run them thorough a table saw if they are to big. If you don't have one I'm sure someone close to you does. Isn't much work, and you can make them any size you want.
