All the best,

I can't wait to see it. I was just looking at my 4 LL Bean geese wondering why I hadn't sent them yet...

 

[Hank Yorke]

Ready for action

Matt -
Awesome bird! What's the final weight?

Wow, Matt, that is great for a bird that big! (It's a real nice bird, too)

 

[Darin Clark]

Rick L, I'll set the canvasback out for you to take a look at when you come down next week.

Back to painting on the heron silly I had started and sealed before getting sidetracked by the heron pickleweed project. Textured it and did some painting this morning.

Always an interesting exercise trying to make a flat board project as 3-D
Debated putting in glass eyes, but went with painting them on instead.

Should be ready by the time the second split roll around in a few weeks.

 

[Bill Embacher]

Awesome Bob, inspiring as always.

 

[Al Hansen]

Bill, this has to be an original. Loved it. Great idea for a flock of hummers.

Hi Al, those are the work of George Williams not me! Just posting for him!

 

[Al Hansen]

Thanks, Bill. I stand corrected.

I like it Bob! Looks pretty 3-d to me!

Here's the Goose I posted earlier in the month floated and rigged.

 

[MLBob Furia]

f I were a goose, that's where I'd land!

Beautiful pair, Jode.

 

[Dave Speer]

[jode hillman]

Jode, super nice!

Thanks Dave!

Thanks Bob, the finished heron looks great! All you need now is a custom call to imitate that "Gronk "

 

[DENNIS HAYS]

a few more ready for hunting.

GORGEOUS Bob. Simply gorgeous.

I need a dozen full sized Flamingo's by next Friday. I think you're just the man for the job. No feather detail beyond major groups required.

[MLBob Furia]

Steve,

I'll send you my own flamingo rig. Won't need it this season as we had a massive oil spill in a trailer-park refuge up here, that caused a major die off. Season is closed until further notice
