Good morning, All~

GEORGE WILLIAMS asked me to post these on April Fools Day.....


Looks like he had another visit from some Other World:

I'm not sure of this shows a whole lot (100) of Mini Woodies - or Attack of the Giant Puddle Ducks...

I believe this Drake Pintail is life-size. It's somewhat reassuring to see something "normal" in George's shop.

Beautiful work on that Woodie - nice rich colors!

Member Mark Johnson stopped by this morning for help painting the bills on some Eider Sleds he is making.

We used Behr Curry Powder (PPU6-01) and Dark Storm Cloud (740F-4).

John, very nice! When the species identity is readily recognizable before details and paint are added, you know you have "hit the mark" with a decoy.
I have some Jim Wicks bluebills and a ringneck that have heads similarly textured with a wood riffle rasp prior painting.

Thanks Rick , appreciate the kind words, If you can I,d like to see the Jim Wicks decoys you have , send me a pm if you like .
 
Steve, those 100 woodies that George carved now has me wondering what they would look like in a pond that he hunts. Pretty cool if you ask me. That bull sprig got my attention also.

Al, the number is now 125, with 25 more on the bench, along with a group of sprig heads. Just staying busy.
Just the thought of rigging up that pile of woodies gives me the willies!
 
George isn't it you who always asks "Where are the hens?" :) They look cool but kind of lonely.

Tom, I would like to be the mouse in the corner just to see your friend's facial expression when they look at this drake wood duck for the first time.
