Rick, Thanks for the complement, All i did was take life size patterns & reduce them on a copy machine. I did not spend That much time on painting them. Started them too late.My Daughters were very pleased with what they choose, the Brant was the one they all wanted 1st. I liked the Can Myself, For it was all out of one Piece. The Buffie Finished 3rd

Andy,
Great looking Sawbill. How did you make the feathering on the back of the head? It really looks good.

Rick, John and Zane: Thanks for the kind words. Zane, I got the idea from an article by Tom Christe in the 2016 summer issue of Wildfowl Carving. It is old paint brush bristles epoxied in place.
