those are beautiful. I love your work.

my son guided eastern idaho for 4 years, I bought the boat and he guided me any time I could fit in his schedule. I'm sure I went with him 100 times or more over that period of time. Clients would have to pay $600 a day to hire him, half went to the outfitter he worked for of course. It would...

I have a vision of carving a 24 inch brown trout my son caught a few years ago when he was guiding on the Henry's Fork. We have good photos to work from. I want to put it leaping up the waterfall in our water feature. I had a pair of full body wood ducks out there for 6 months a year ago, but...

Mark and William, I don't think of my decoys as artwork, kind of flattered that some folks do. Caleb gets real irritated at me sometimes because I have a hard time finding a stopping point. It's what I enjoy and I do what I consider artwork at times, but nearly always in wood and not a decoy...

Kind of why I'm here, life's too short to put up with crap.
