Al, Fireworks have been blowing off here for the last 3-4 days and nights, so I don't think you're too early with your Independence Day post. Congratulations to you, Bev, and mothers Habi and Cayenne with their recent recent puppy births. I take great enjoyment in seeing pics of the puppies...

Tom, Very impressed with your energy and enthusiasm in completing your recent carving, especially when you're working a full time job ! You nailed it perfectly in both carving and painting with your ruddy trio. Enjoyed your pics of the "Texas 25" dove rig. Keep up the good work. Looking...

George, With all due respect. Not "a few recently finished" but "a whole flock of puddlers for us guys to drool over !" I'm a big fan and enthusiast of your work , and am pleased to have some representative examples of your birds in my decoy collection. Good to see you posting here, and looking...

Jim, There is a midwest collector/dealer by the name of Vaughn Walters who buys-sells a lot of Wildfowler decoys, He sells them in the $150-350 range depending on condition, rarity and factory point of origin. He has a website "grandriverdecoys.com" with a good selection of Wildfowler...

Jon, Your young son appears to be a future duckhunter. If he ever gets bit by the decoy collecting bug as an adult, he can legitimately claim that he's been handling handmade wooden duck decoys since the age of one, and he will have the photo evidence to prove it! Thanks for sharing. Ken

Al, In the spring of 2008, residents in the city of Chicago had been reporting sightings of a very large cat roaming the neighborhood streets. Authorities dismissed it as a hoax. Lo and behold, Chicago police ended up shooting and killing a 150 lb male mountain lion. The wildlife guys were...

Tom, From your pics, your friend Jeff has a nice bull neck can in the works. Good to see you helping out. Ken

Geoff, I forgot about Bob White. I hope you don't mind me rehashing one of your post replies from a couple of years back regarding Bob White's decoys. You stated " Ahh yes... the BOBFATHER ! Be careful or you'll wake up with a duck head in your bed. Those east coast guys are not to be...

Stef, Beautiful world class work ! I dabbled a bit with the feather burned decorative decoys a few years back. It's a lot of time consuming work requiring a tremendous amount of patience. Definitely a labor of love. My hat's off to you. Best regards, Ken

Roy, Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it. I found it very interesting to note that Jamie Hand was schooled by Shourds and Conklin. What I admire amoung the New Jersey contemporary carvers is their unselfish generosity to share methods, techniques, tricks and painting skills. Jamie Hand was / is...

Al, Regarding your daily retirement schedule. In my opinion, you are working much too hard! I've got a few more work years to go, and am eagerly anticipating being able to take those daily naps, (maybe even a couple of daily nips) relaxing, and not being able to keep my eyes open at days end...
