All~
Lots on my bench - most of which need to be done by COB Thursday - to bring to LI on Friday for the LI Decoy Collectors Show.
In no particular order (which pretty much describes they way I work when on deadline.....):
These LL Bean Deluxe Oversize Black Ducks are all done and ready to be returned to their owner.
Here's a bit closer look.
I decided to edge the primaries - as the Beans had gone to the trouble to carve the primary groups in relief.
This will be the canvas for the Meadow Box/Gunning Coffin I've been refurbishing. I had to buy a new steam iron this morning before I could sew some of the tighter curves.
The big "monkey wrench" thrown into my schedule was these flap boards. I ordered the marine plywood 2 weeks ago - and it finally arrived yesterday morning. They (all 4) have been laid out and 'glassed both sides. Side 2 is now curing next to the stove.
The Mahogany thatch rails have been shaped and ripped. They will get their spacers first thing tomorrow morning.
Although not time critical, I've continued progress on my 7 Herters Model Canadas. The Mallards are all done.
I just picked up the "right" grey - Behr Suede Gray - for the primary edging.
I made these stickups a few years ago - to stage faux shorebird shoots.
