Thanks for the kind words. I have my own style, can't compete with the skills of so many incredible carvers on this site. I am now a fan of your work also.

bad part wasn't loading it at all Chuck there were two dudes helping. Made me feel not so out of shape that the mill workers were huffing and puffing as much as me when we were done. What was bad was by myself pulling 200bf out of the truck cutting to size and loading it into the kiln. The six foot pieces were much nicer to handle than the nine foot minimum. The two twelve footers I did by myself were almost too much. My buddy Phil helped me unload, trim and seal the rest before putting it in his parent's wood shed. As soon as it warms up in late March I will start the kiln and keep it running until all the wood is dry

F. Miller - That's a good lookin' Dipper, should work very well in your rig. First canvas decoy I ever made was Bufflehead drake.

Here is a little green wing I'm finishing up. Got it and a few others to keel this weekend.

Matt~

That is one fine Greenwing!

I'm curious about the plug in the picture - does he run on 110 or 220????

All the best,

Matt, that is a great greenwing. I think the degree of detail in the carving and paint are perfect.

Greenwing is just awesome!

 

[Matt DeFore]

Thanks for the comments and thanks to a Georgia snow day I finally painted it.

Very nice greenwing Matt. Beautiful follow-up to that nice scaup, too!
