Thanks Dave!

Bill - That common merg is reminiscent of Ferdinand Bach. Also, sweet little ruddies...

Just carved some Illinois River style mallards from great grandpa's 1920 pattern. One is a drake going to the Lockport Duck Club here on the Illinois River. The other is a black mallard going to my good friend Tim Speight. I thank God for the legacy my great grandpa left me. Leave one to your kids and grandkids...

Pat - great talking to you yesterday, really looking forward to the drake. Hadn't seen this post earlier, he's looking pretty sharp.

Jode those blacks are gorgeous!! Love the carving but I love your painting even more. Maybe a case of beer and you can show me a thing or two. LOL.

Larry, good start. Check your PM's.

I will up it to two cases of lager to work on a black duck like that. Great looking ducks.

Thanks Sean.When I get some scratch together i'd like to learn how to paint in oils. Your work is so inspiring.
