I sent you a message with a solution to patch dings and shot holes with on your private message. It's not something I'm willing to share openly.

shipping is a killer. We had an account with Fedex for years and years with a little discount, but really not enough to help. Our yearly fedex bill was over $20k. This year we switched to pirateship.com and it's cut the shipping cost considerably, they give a few options of what's the least...

yes, I remember it well. those long summer days with no night make it hard to stop doing stuff, especially when you are only a few months away from going back to night. I remember when I had a friend come up from college and took him fishing out on the Chena. He told me he was going to fish...

no such thing as too nice to hunt. The way I see it is a decoy is for hunting, not for display. I rarely carve a decoy for the shelf unless it's an urn and most urns I make are made to hunt a day or two a year. If I'm making something for the shelf, it will be an art piece, a flying duck, a...

I really enjoy working with my son, Caleb. He has a great work ethic and just enjoyable to be around. We've worked together since he got out of college in 2010 except for the past year and a half when he was working as a manager in the local Scheels. Low pay and long hours were beating him...

I've got my son helping me paint decoys now.

nice work William, I like the looks of that skimmer pair.

I just finished up this semi-storm wigeon and got it on the pond this morning. I saw a photo of this pose and just had to try it. We will call it a tail preener.

This is my 9th year not bear hunting, no one interested in going with me or asking me to tag along. Granted I'm not much help anymore, but I am a great skinner. I'm pretty content to sit in the shop and make decoys, there are never enough hours in the day. It's 70 today, too nice to work, but...

with recent fiascos and delayed shipments, I'll probably switch to flocking unlimited myself. as long as it's nylon, I don't much care where it comes from. I'm not real sure it was an age that my wife started wanting me to not be by myself, I think it might have been coming to Idaho when I...

Ron, I think everyone has a carving they can't let go of or wished they hadn't. People don't often recognize the amount of time we have in our wood carvings. I'd be money ahead to be a greeter at Walmart when it comes to my decorative stuff. I rarely sell wood carvings, but do give them away...

I got a few wigeons in the pond this morning. I finished 10 with two more hens to paint today or tomorrow. They all floated upright, so that's a good sign.
