They are your basic green poplar boards. Leaving them stacked where rain got to them for many years caused the surfaces to mildew. Once you plane the surface it is your garden variety poplar. Nothing cool like you mentioned.

Love the brant decoy!

That's a relief! I was envisioning all that black poplar being hidden in a drawer recess!

Beautiful work as always.
Finished making mounting plates for a powRarm. I have a new appreciation for people who work with metal.
Made enough so I don't have to drill all those holes again.

I hunted more open water out of my ZTW last year and decided a decoy pick up stick would make life a lot easier. I started with an old broomstick and this is what I came up with....

... and yes Steve it has the required Turk's head knot.

Patrick, beautiful work. I went to the local welding shop and picked up scrap aluminum T stock and made up a few. Steel is better, less vibrations.

Butterballs and a can urn, light sand and sealer primer and paint

Completed deadmount #8 in my After the Hunt series.

Titled "A Boy's First Duck." It reminds me of the first duck taken when this guy had his new youth 870, 20 ga. out for the first time.

Now he has a family of his own. Can't wait to take his kids out when they're old enough.

Wow, what a beautiful mount. The backdrop with rope moulding is a nice touch to an exquisite dead mount. The feet look incredibly real. I can't even imagine the challenge and patience this took.
