Just put the final coat of Val-Oil on the last frond bird for my all-frond rig. This is the drake for the mallard pair that will go along with the five blackducks. The concept here is that he is tipping his head back like puddlers do just after taking a drink.

Back to school next week to start year #35 - Gosh, I'm going to love being retired come this time next year!!

A friend in So. California sent me the initial few. When I requested enough for a small puddler rig, he mailed me a box of six. I know they had probably been laying wherever he stores his junk for ages.

I have been trying to find a source for more; will let you know if I'm successful.

Just found this added to an article I did for IWCA site : (Chet Wilcox, of Wil-Cut Company, and an outstanding carver, supplies fronds along with other specialty woods. Contact Chet at 916-961-5400, or by mail at 7113 Spicer Drive, Citrus Heights, CA 95621.)
