I've gone through about 5 lbs of flocking since the first of the year. Flocking is about the only step in making decoys I don't really enjoy, but I wouldn't hunt a decoy that wasn't flocked. I'll be ordering another 5 lbs of grey this week.

nice, very stylish.

what a great idea. The older I get the more interested I am in having everything at waist level, ground level is getting farther and farther away.

I think most of the initial interest decoy wise came through the refuge, I know that's where tanglefree found me. After that I suppose word just got around. Doves were way down the list, I did most of the duck species before I ever did doves or pigeons. I have around 80 designs out there right...

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.

I'm really happy to have him painting again. He had quit painting after a couple of critiques on another forum nearly a decade ago, of course who knows what kind of painting those knot heads were capable of, for all I know those two characters are 16 year old girls just causing trouble. I...

We've been carving lots of mallards lately, but got a few black ducks mixed in. These have the first run of IQ keels, or what Caleb and I call them Rein a keels. William Reinicke and I have been collaborating on all things decoy for close to a couple of years now. I gave him the...

it looks good, I'm not so sure the head is too small. I rarely know what day of the week it is, much less the day of the month, good thing I don't write checks anymore.

I bought a piece of tupelo at our local woodcraft store a couple of years ago to carve some quail out of and it about ruined me, it was as hard as a rock. I went back to basswood after that. I taught a class at a local wood carving shop a few times about 30 years ago and always took payment...

excellent work. I used to carve a lot of tupelo, but it was long before I made a decoy. I always figured after I started making decoys it would be ideal for a duck decoy.

thank you. Caleb does good work with the airbrush. whenever I make a group like this I like to have everyone of them a different pose. I'm up to 42 poses now with just one basic pattern. It's kind of a challenge to see what all can be made.

it's pretty handy to have someone painting for me. I still do a little painting, but very little. I do all the carving, design, and customization as well as most of the flocking, then it goes to his shop for a few days. I probably should keep track of how many decoys we are making, about the...
