Feeling better and after getting 2 birds out of the way I'm focusing a little more on cleaning up some older carvings that have been sitting around not painted. Finished this one up last night. I think it's the 3d shoveler I've done. Still working on the pattern but it's a good hunting bird. I think I carved it roughly 1.5 -2 years ago. Not real old but not a recent bird.
This is hollowed tan cork with a tupalo head. As it sits with no keel it weighs 15.3 oz. I think I can roll it with less than 4 oz of keel so it should finish at just over a around 18-19oz. Will make a good walk in bird.
