Been a while since I've done a bird. Been in a carving funk for lack of better term. I did finish this one a couple of months ago. Went into this one with no intentions of selling, competitions, worrying about it being perfect, etc. Just did it because I wanted to do another cinn. teal. Have no need for one but just wanted to do it. I think this is the first bird I've enjoyed carving in over 2 years because I had no motive other than just having fun with it. It has some problems but I don't care...it was fun. I think I'm getting back into the groove again and enjoying the process.

Cork body, tupalo head, and acrylic paint (Goldens and Traditions)

Thanks for giving it a look

Nice looking decoy! It looks angry! Haha!

Looks mean! I like it.

Nice work! Looks like he's pretty pissed off though.

It's a beauty

I like it! Looks real clean from where I'm sitting.

Appreciate the comments guys.

Hopefully I'll have a some more soon. Started on a bufflehead bouy bird and a cork bluebill already.

Very nice

Amazing decoy

Nice!

Very nice as always Scott, especially the eyes. I've been trying to get that same pissed off look with mine lol.

Scott I was looking through a book I have that contains VA, NC, and SC style decoys the other night loking for a bit of inspiration. There is an old Chincoteague carver named Dave "Umbrella" Watson that had the same angry look to his birds as well.

Scott, quit clowning around and show us some serious effort.
