[Bill Embacher]

Chris, mixed feelings so far. Some things I love about them, others not so much.

Posting for George:

some sprig from this week--getting ready for gac

a dog chewed this 1978 pancake over 25 years ago and i just got around to creating a prosthesis for it--The first shot is the remnant with prosthesis--Remnant is the blue part--Second shot is post repair! Not repainting the rest

 

[george w]

got a little carried away--Even vacuumed for the shot--Guess that covers shop shots also?

 

[Colin Fitzpatrick]

I have been watching these threads for a while and really enjoy looking through them, so I'm glad I can finally post something on here. just finished up my first attempt at decoy carving, a drake bufflehead. It will feel cool to have a bird of my own in the rig next year and hopefully I can start working on another bird soon.

Dang Chuck, You've been busy! Hitch

 

[Tom Modin]

Colin the Buffy is pretty dang cool. George it isn't a photo of your shop without the great big pile of cork dust

 

[Chuck J]

Dang Chuck, You've been busy! Hitch

Yes, but those pics are of Geo's shop...my shop is top secret as of now...hehe

 

[Brandon Yuchasz]

Tim, guess they are going to get painted as widgeon now and I was planning some ringnecks out of them. Darn!

Chris, I am thinking black, I have more use for mallards but I love painting blacks.

The rest of the work is really cool this month. George those springs for your rig or a customer?

 

[george w]

Had an order for that bunch--Had fun with the variations, including the pickleheads with bodies. I doubt all the alerts will be used at once.

 

[Geoff Vine]

Brandon - I like the consistent and unique eye groove on those mergs. That's an elemnt of your style. It ties the whole group together and brands them. Nice

Wish I could be prolific as George...can't wait for "retirement" to decoys full time.

Also good to see new folks trying their hand at carving. Colin - If you send me a PM with your email address I will send you a few different Bufflehead patterns. One is a nice simple Jersey pattern you will appreciate.

This is the last in a series of "Wardish" drake divers for Mr. Hancock...
