Contact Leo. Pretty sure that if it is of his hand, he will sign for you.

See Rooster, the switch to sinister wasn't that bad after all! You may also find that a pass from left to right is going to become quite desirable![sly]

No signature? Looks like a Vermont keel to me.

Spiffy thought, felal. I spent my first day today having seeds planted---Hope the reddish wee wee stops soon. Need birdseed, cedar shavings for Cap's kennel and some of the newer Fed shells. Steff just picked up shells for his glock. Now he can go practice.. Deer seem to have arrived on the...

Larry, how long ago were they made? What type of cork did you use when you made them? What kind of paint was applied? A few shots of what they look like now, along with answers to the questions will help a ton. If you used Golden Acrylics, drop me a note with species and I will forward you my...

Tomorrow, I go for a covid test after gym, so they can do the seed implants on Wednesday, which puts me in quarantine until then, SOOOOO, to avoid boredom l finish the balsa widgeon paint work, probably hack out either another drake, or a mate, AND watch Hopalong Cassidy and Premier league...

Always a need to upgrade the flock , even occasionally. Ballard just sent me an image from some guy in the Rochester area that picked up 9 of my corks that were working up your way. Sweet 16 they are. Come on paisan, you don't want to leave this world with all that unused wood, do you?[smile]

Still waiting for you to make a stool with that rakish attitude, fella!

Mike, there appears to be an inconsistency between side application and the rest of the bird. Now, try to match that color with the hard edged appearance.[;)]

Fear not, you aren't eating the feathers! Probably just a color phase. I will start looking here in delawhere.[w00t]

DAYUM, That first hen mallard to left on table is also a Mitchell mallard. I still have some of those along with blacks that occasionally hit the water. I think Bill Mauldin, no relation to terry and the pirates was responsible for the body pattern. Do not quote me, though. Last pair I...

The ones on the table appear to be from Madison Mitchell's shop, including that snappy looking cork drake mallard in front left. Jess Urie was from Rock Hall. Frequently, decoys from that area were affixed with heads by other makers, or turned into stove wood.

Thanks, Rooster! Glad I can still stand on my head. Working on his lady friend right now. She looks like a little woodie hen, kinda!!! I wasn't aware that things south of the equator came in upside down. HEHEHEHEHHEH

You can leave thoughts at Thompson memorial home, Red Bank, N.J. A short search will get you there.

I have had a low digit number for the past eons, got the paperwork, sent everything back, as no one seems to be at f& w in delawhere. Still have not received anything back, with the season opening on sept 1. This could get a mite testy, folks! At least, I shall carry my signed fed duck stamp!!

This is rather sad. Apparently, Paul Dobrosky, a long time friend a d carver passed after a prolonged illness. Condolences to his daughters and their families. Daniel Green and I chatted with hem earlier this week, and he was apparently, in his shop, although at this time he was having serious...

Hang on there, ponder. It is possible to put oil over latex, but not the other way round. I recall that from my art days. If you abrade, and the paint is well cured, it may be possible.. That is why Bocour came up with Magma years ago--both oil and water miscible. Only time I have ever seen...

Titanium white to which a bit of raw umber is added. If you paint thickly, allow paint some time to set up, then comb. When dry, LIGHTLY dry brush the top of the area with carbon black. That should produce the can back result. Since sides are white, just use the titanium white and less raw...

Steve, when I compare the ones in the morgue, the pac looks like the one in the pic, also that collare seems a lot larger, Atlantics have a pretty incomplete collar as opposed to their left coast cousins, which are almost complete. Nice image, though.[;)]

Rooster, from the forepart of the sides, I am apt to guess that the picture is a pacific, rather than an atlantic., unless it is an OLD adult. Past the chest, about a third of that side appears quite dark on a pac, and extends right onto the belly. Ours, on the other hand, are greyish.. My...
