Paully! Missed ya at Westlake, bud. Hope to see ya next year, though. Get well, my man.

Wow, if I sprinkle some water on the miniature you made me, will it grow up big and strong like Jim's? Nah, I like having your first black miniature. Nevermind the question. Oh, by the way, spectacular decoy! Missed you at Westlake this year. It was a very entertaining show, on several...

Welcome, Justin! When ya gonna make that 3 hour trek over to make some dust with me? I'm in Shreveport, LA, with the welcome mat always out for carvers that wanna stop by.

A better question about what to buy would be, "How many tools do you own but seldom/never use, but your purchased because you thought it would make carving easier/faster/more fun?" For my shop, all that's needed is my Foredom, the bandsaw and my planer. After that, we're just talking little...

Looks great, but can you float the fourth, hehehe. Sorry I've nothing more to add than snark.

Hahaha, i'm doing this at work right now. I mean RIGHT now! And it's a goose, too!

This year's show was AWESOME! The photos I took are few, but I'll post a link to them below. Rather than link each image here, in it's ginormous size, I'll let you folks peruse my PhotoBucket. http://s68.photobucket.com/...y72/Westlake%202010/

Now THIS is funny!

Bob, I had the pleasure of finally meeting Bobby Sutton this weekend, and he couldn't stop talking about your frond birds. He was telling anybody that would listen how much he loves them. He's quite a piece of work, too. That's a cool little bird, by the way.

Jason certainly does do a mighty fine gadwall. That's good stuff there!

Mike, thanks for the compliment! I lurk here mostly, but I've always enjoyed your decoys and really enjoy your photos of you and your son. That harlie was a spur of the moment bird that I made just to have a sea duck in the contest. Turns out it was the only sea duck in the fancy gunner contest...

I entered two dekes, a hooded merganser that went over like a fart in church, and a sleeper redhead, that took 2nd place. I don't have a single picture of either. I'm hoping the merganser doesn't come back home, as I asked them to try to sell if for me (with them getting a cut, obviously) at the...

2nd Best of Show. But I'm modest and didn't wanna say it, hahahahha.

Did anybody get any pics from the decoy contest? I'm anxious to see the birds!

Jeffro, didja ever work up a proper tupelo knife? I'm in the market. Holla!

That's the strangest thing I've seen all day. I only wish I had it available in Hi-res, as it'd make a whacky t-shirt

Jeff, that's not a son of a birch, it's a son of a beach. Or at least a really nice piece of ash. Can't really tell.

You're killin' me with that chiloe. Only the coolest of the wigeon clan. Man I'm jealous!

Man, whatchu talkin' bout. These shows are the only time during the year I work! Shhh, don't tell my boss. This time, I'm bringing a decoy to paint for Westlake. That last trip to Vegas was toooooo long without carving/painting.

I'm leaving for Orlando tomorrow for a trade show and will be there Wednesday through Sunday. Anybody makin' decoys near by? I enjoy meeting new folks, so if you're up it, lemme know.
