Chuck - It all makes sense now, you don't have to deal with a carver's wood problem.

Did this sprig preener. Solid poplar body with a basswood head. Can't recommend poplar, hard as a rock and heavy as one...

Sure I can do shirts, I'll press them to a 1x12, staple them in place and coat them with Rustoleum...

 

[Tom Modin]

Great lines on that bird Pat I am always a fan of preening decoys.

starting a red cedar preener


i also bought two carving knives and a strop from deepworks, they look awesome and cant wait to get them

 

[jode hillman]

Thanks Tim. Sean great group of shorebirds.
Here's an aged verity style plover I finished yesterday.

Not that anyone would confuse this attempt a a real old shorebird, but I always carve my name in the bottom anyway.

 

[D. Moreau]

Those are awesome sean!

looking good chris!

Clint, maybe you can take a road trip and use them in Burma. With relations getting better and some possible sightings I think there is a better chance of them being found than getting a clear picture of an Ivory Bill.
