[Muthagoose]

I use pvc board any place I can instead of wood. With its various densities it goes from floating to sinking like lead,.gotta research before ya pic for a keel or a post..
 

[Muthagoose]

My First foamers I bought 50 years ago and one of my swans I'm working on..
Long path ....

[Muthagoose]

Now that Ive got a rough pattern figured I might make 2 resters to stand next to the bull stand on a rathouse.

You definitely have talent!!!!

 

My bud is just finishing up his black ducks

Not bad.

Ive done cork but got away from it..

Turning a few of these into blackies soon.

Couldnt hepmysef turning a pintail into a hybrid shoveler..

Adding near 70 mallards, blackies,ringers and woodies to my spread this run..

[Wanderer]

He doesn’t normally do cork either but wanted to for these.  He goes different directions for different things and like most carvers has his trademark lines.  Not as detailed as yours but fun to hunt over nonetheless.

 

My fave that he’s done for me:

[Muthagoose]

Thats the thing decoys are like calls,guns and 

Its all about what you like.

They ALL work..

Its ALL GOOD...

The guys that post negative [PoorWordUsage] likethis is the only one to use and nothings better are either some prostaff or someone validating what the bought.

Its GOOD to be proud of what you own,made or do...

This is what Im doing today..

This is about a hour+ scrapped..
Not happy with the eye set so I cut them off and will try again..
Double flocking on my birds requires a outset set eye so the eyering stands out need to use a smaller lower profile glass..
Tough to do with shaky hands and 15year old red apoxie sculpt..
Even more funs putting pinpoint pupils on the smaller glass....

[monstermoose78]

Wow  

[Muthagoose]

Finally got the new ones ready for flocking

Gonna work on the mallard beast a bit this week bills, tips, tails eyesets..Using a 1 1/4" spade bit to set the eyes in em..

That doesn’t sound logical to me at all.

Hmm, no idea why the pic of the Columbia was added and now I can’t edit it out.  Weird

[Wanderer]

You’ve got one heck of an operation going on there @Muthagoose.

[Muthagoose]

Going on 15 years of making foamers and making less and less each run which is why Im playing with the beasts..

Getting a few flocked early mornings before work and after..Got about 70 to do

 

 

Got a couple spots I hit up here shot a few pure blackies but around the area mixes are pretty common..

Ringers are fun time I pretty much hunt off the dock unless one of the guys has a hot pond.. 

Once migration gets rolling then its Honk n Beans for me..

[Muthagoose]

A few pics from this run of 70 Im finishing..
