March - What's on your workbench ?

[size 4]The bird I began this Workbench post with was the first of a pair of burnt cork Black Ducks. I just finished the Hen today. Below is a bunch of photos - different aspects and different settings. I am always experimenting with my camera - and sometimes have a hard time choosing the ones that show the birds to their best advantage. So, please bear with me - AND share your thoughts on the different approaches.

Great looking birds Capt.!

Good morning, Tom~

Thanks again for that case of irreplaceable Wiley Cork - I am endeavoring mightily to do it justice!

All the best,

My daughter's school play, "Joust", a spoof on King Arthur, is coming up next week. The Teacher asked if I could make some swords, lances and shields for the play.

Without telling me anything more, I took some artistic freedom with the shields. I think some people here will get the reference, then I had one left so decided to make one for Sir Andrew.

I have to admit, I had to look up the word "Heraldry". Did you know where the designs come from?

Your duck coat of arms probably goes back to this:

Finally getting back into carving. Had a pretty productive day yesterday. Still got a ways to go. Critiques are always welcome. Tthanks for looking guys.



 
Pete - I would love one for my rig. Your goldeneye got a good workout this past season. The best thing would be that you came out this season to hunt with us. Pat

Trying to get my daughter to add to her lines " It's only a flesh wound", but she won't.

You are very welcome! I love it when I find a score and can get it into the right hands!

Good morning, Lloyd~

One Gorgeous Can! I really like the whole carving - robust and relaxed at the same time.

Will you be hollowing it - or keeping it solid cedar?

All the best,

SJS
 
Pat,
I would love to one of these days. When I am retried, I am going to rent a RV and just travel from state to state hunting and carving with different guys.
