Bob - I wish I was in that pool with your teal the last 3 days. Today especially was a scorcher. After 3 days of it, I'm convinced the only birds that like 90 degrees are pelicans... Lots of them...
Looks to be better next weekend...
Nice decoys... Pat

Built prototype of two off three and its time to order some cork . Gonna run with it and build a rig to hunt over this year . Time is ticking ! Happy with the size of the birds even after resizing for nesting reasons. Half inch bottom board and tail insert will make up the size i shaved off .

I certainly don't want to contaminate all of the love in the air, but I can't help but wonder why YOUR chairs do not have seats and backs of canvas.....
All the best,

I'm with Steve... I am so surprised. Are you jumping the fence and giving up your needle and apron? What about your career on Project Runway??? You were so looking forward to meeting Heidi Klum or, was that Tim???

Rick nice decoys. The paint has an old school look to it almost like its aged already. Neat look.

Thanks Brandon i like a soft look but its hard to wash over cork like you can wood . I was more interested in the size and how they would look in the water. I cut out heads today for the hole rig . Tails and bottom boards next .

I like the paint and attitudes on both birds - very nice!
Here's a "half-size" (9" LOA) Wood Duck Flyer ready for sealing and priming. Iwill also put a staple in its back so it can be hung from the rafters.
These drakes - watercolors - are for a birthday card for my older brother. Although it's been a long time since he's had any red hair, he was called "Redhead" for many years.
Plenty "on the bench" right now...two wood stoves being tuned up, my old Scooter rehabbed, the Upland Sandpiper needs final paint, our upstairs bathroom needs a new floor, and about 3 full cords of firewood up on Champlain need splitting....
'Tis a fine time of year,
