It seems to be the same for all trades or hobbies in that when you do the work for others you never have time to make the same for yourself. When I did floors in high end homes everyone assumed I must have the best floors in the area. Not the case. I had carpet and vinyl. The same has been for my decoys. Im on track to turn out 50+ birds this year and none of them are bound for my own rig. Ive decided after speeding up my process with a hatchet and learning some faster painting techniques to make a few for myself this year. Im looking to make 6 black ducks this year so that I can turn my plastic birds into seaducks.

The first one I know I already posted but I wanted to put them all together here. This one has the head at about a medium height. The second is a high head and my plans are to carve either a preener or feeder next followed by a couple resters. Both are hollow cedar and will be painted in oils. I will hold off on paint and do them all at one time.



This one is an inch wider and 2 inches longer than the previous. Ive made some improvements on my pattern.

Pretty birds.

Thanks Rick. They are very true. I still have crappy floors and 100 plastic birds.

Can't wait to see some paint on these! Looking good

and I love in an 1100 square foot house that could pass for a modular ...

I've had a partially remodeled bathroom for at least 4 years.

Birds look great by the way Bay!

Its not Snoop - but you should listen to that song. It will help reinforce all your long held beliefs regarding persons of color.

Definitely, were 2 of the classiest, most caring, well spoken saints I've had the privilege of piping down my ear canals.
