It's what I'd call a "make hay while the sun shines" type of a day. We are having a reprieve from the heat, right now at 2 in the afternoon it's 80 degrees, but the humidity is a little steep at 35%, which is high for mid day here. I'm from Kansas, so I'm well aware at how absurd the humidity...

the ducks are flocked, the loaf of bread is baked, or maybe half baked.

My heaviest decoy is 28 oz, some keel less as light as 17 oz. It's very similar to William's decoys, all were made from the same pattern. This one was competed a few days ago and weighs 28 oz. I'm up to 41 poses on the same basic pattern. As William mentioned we have had a collaboration...

Ron, I wouldn't mind having a little winter right now, thermometer on the back patio said 105 when I came in from the shop at lunch time. lots to do indoors on the decoys, so I'll be staying cool in the craft room.

I'm am buried in ducks right now. I counted 51 decoys in the shop and in the craft room. This time of year, shop means hot place to work in summer, the craft room is in the house with air conditioning, so I always try to have something to do when it's hot. I did a little head enhancement on...

well, we do shoot cripples on occasion, but no worries, they are solid foam. We do a lot of diver hunting and the decoys can get a workout with cripples, but repairs are easy if necessary, in general, we usually don't fix anything, those little black holes don't hurt anything. We have a hole...

my son and I are on a mission, working on decoys everyday. He does all the painting, I do all the customization, design, and flocking.

well, we have a nova scotia toller so we don't get clouds of hair, we get thunderstorms. My wife thought he was a good idea for a duck hunting dog, I didn't know what she got until she was half way home with the dog, we had just lost our 4 year old chessie to epilepsy and a broken back. She...

A molded decoy like yours and the damage you show could be fixed with a small amount of apoxie sculpt. You can get it on amazon and it wouldn't take a lot for just one decoy. It's a two part epoxy putty that sticks to just about anything and can be smoothed out with a little water and even...
