Love that King Eider Bill.
Finished up a special knife for a lifelong friend. Pattern 25 Damascus blade from Jantz, I put a handle of micarta and waterbuffalo horn on it.

Decoys are coming along too, but nothing worth showing off at this point.

A week left to our seasons here. Bit of a thaw today so I think I'll run down to the River tomorrow and see what might be around. Like my old college roomie is fond of saying : "You can sleep when you're dead."
Preener hen corker is now sealed and textured. Some wood duck drakes going in the shop.

Dennis,
Your wife paints some beautiful waterfowling scenes. Cool how she blended the birds already on the ground into the bottom. Also, love the bird hanging in the mist in the upper left of that picture, as well as the suggestion of the V's of geese above.
Wouldn't put that on any floor of mine!

Phil hope you dont mind i copied and pasted this.
Area canvas rugs, today known as floorcloth, had their start in 18th century England. Initially used by the wealthy, the designs and patterns mimicked parquet flooring, tile and marble. As these useful furnishings found their way into middle-class homes, the variety of patterns grew. When American colonists became independent from England, they also began to create their own floorcloths. Eventually the development of linoleum eliminated the interest in these rugs. However, in the past few decades, the desire to decorate homes in a more personal way has stimulated their popularity. Unique designs are made in a variety of styles and colors, using many techniques. This gives today's floorcloths the ability to be created for any style interior.

Thanks a lot guys. Bob after reading your comment. I got to thinking they kind resemble your pickleweed decoys.
