So I started carvin decoys to pass the winter... seems winters over and I didn't get as much done as I wanted but just finished this guy.





Made of salvaged shipping foam, burlap, tile adhesive, rustoleum (in black, white, and "paprika") and epoxy putty for the bill.

Nicely done and thanks for sharing. Maybe your next one will be of wood.

looks great, well done!

I don't know about wood... I just don't have tools for wood work (mainly I need a band saw). Just finished up this little blackjack. I sure do love the way these guys come into the decoys at full speed and practically land on top of the other ducks.



I just hand carved some bills out of cedar and it is a slow process (and I need to get some sharper tools I think)... Next up are 3 mallards in different positions, I think I made them a bit fat looking, so I will have to find a paint scheme that makes em look slim

Nice work, looking forward to seeing the mallards too.

Mallards are pretty much done. They may need a few touchups where I made fingerprints, but that can wait a while.

These are the 3 I made. Bills are a bit off, but I am sure they will do the job  


And these are 3 of my dozen or so fully flocked drakes I did up a few weeks ago.  One of these were shot up, patched, shot up some more, stepped on, filled with foam, patched and now flocked... Can you guess which one? I should also mention that these are Game winner brand and a flambeau... I didn't make these ones

And here's what I think will be my ringneck rig... I may decide to add more to it, but for now I think this is worth a try, and theres 6 months to think about it.
