a bufflehead drake has a big range of color on their heads. The paint scheme started with blue, then red, and green. As you know you've got to cover the black twice to see any color at all over flocking and there is no maroon/purple, that's just a blend of red and blue individually on the...

A drake bufflehead was the first diver I ever shot. Our view of waterfowl hunting when I was a kid was limited to puddlers and primarily mallards. When I shot my drake bufflehead, we weren't sure what it was other than a duck, dad called it a baldpate, we had never seen a wigeon at that point...

that's well done. My wife keeps me busy with projects like that too.

when I used to make burlapped foamers I glued the HD pink foam with gorilla glue. I tried about everything else and gorilla glue works the best. put a line of glue down the middle, spray the other half of the foam with water and shake it off. Water is basically the catalyst that makes gorilla...

I wood burned a lot back in the day with a little detailer cub, it's better for small stuff and it's better if you are using fuzzy wood like basswood. But it takes a lot longer to cover a square inch of decoy than stoning. I picked up the idea of stoning from Breakthrough magazine. I have...

that's should be a dandy. I prefer stoning to wood burning. It's way faster with basically the same result. My wood burner is practically new, but I've had it several years. There are things it can do that a stone can't, but not much.

That's kind of what I used with my badger when I was figuring things out, a can of air. I then got a little airbrush compressor which was a huge mistake, no tank so it ran constantly and still didn't have enough air consistently to paint. I even had a pressure tank I could fill up at the...

Painting with an airbrush is a wonderful tool, but at the same time it can be frustrating to master. I learn something new every time I pick it up and I have in excess of 40,000 hours behind the button in the past 45 years. I need to come up with a youtube account so I can post videos...

I'm guessing you don't have facebook. There is a bit of Caleb painting with an airbrush on there, but It's fairly likely I can talk you through it here. I talked William through it and he's doing great. I had a video on airbrushing over flocking and my son lost the file. You can always go to...

that turned out real nice.

I've been working on these six geese for a long time. They should have been done prior to last fall, but we were just too busy last summer. They were made to be keel less, but I have a removable keel just in case. With the flat keels on they weigh between 30 and 31 oz. There were 14 color...

I boiled off some in the past and then cleaned the skull, bleached it then put bondo inside the horns to slip them back on in their appropriate place. It's really weird how they shed those things each year. I'm guessing the micro wave method stinks up the kitchen.
