I am hoping to get my canvasback completed with the paint on Tuesday. A fella is coming by to do a shoot of me carving and painting decoys for his new magazine that is going into print this July.

Tom~

I just sawed out a cork body for a Black Duck head I've had kicking around. I cannot get back to it 'til Monday evening - but I'm on track for early June.

All the best,

SJS

[RC D]

Tom,

Are you going to post pictures of the completed birds? Or are we going to held in suspense until the due date?

R. C. (and Tom) ~

I will start the "Swap '14 Cavalcade of Blocks"....

The bird is tan cork with a White Pine head. I still need to put the finish paint on the bottom - and, I probably violated numerous gunning bird "rules". I did not seal the cork - just linseed oil, the torch, then more linseed. No ballast or self-righting - the new owner can add ballast if needed. And, the keel is flat so the bird will still trim properly when the tide runs out - as often happens in good Black Duck spots along the Atlantic Tidewater.

BTW: I'm glad this photo does not show the slick from the linseed oil.

All the best,

SJS
