Very nice work Tom! It's always nice to see another carvers work. I carve mostly gunning decoys out of cedar or cork. My dad started me duck hunting on lake Champlain in Vermont during the 70s, so I like carving and collecting old gunning decoys from this area. Nice fine detail in your work, something that takes time. Thank's for posting. Jim.

Nice work Tom. I to carve when I,m not out detecting. I have been at it for about 11 years. But I only carve people in the round. I have never carved a duck. I could have been a master carver,if I did not cut my hand,about 55 years ago. Yeah I was carving a Paul Bunion bust with an exato knife when I cut my self bad. I put my knife down and never carved again until 11 years ago. I still have that unfinished bust. There is black [blood] smeared on the face of it. I still get cut from time to time ,but that is the only scar I have. Ducks look hard to me. You do nice work. Great hobby. Mike.

Tom thanks for the PM. How long does it take to carve a docoy? I carve real slow. My carvings take about 3 mounths. Good luck. Mike.
