Here is a photo of the load of white pine that we unloaded this week...
over 3000 board feet... just wanted one picture before the wood goes out to other carvers...
nice and clear and some big sizes...
I got some great ideas to carve with my share of the wood...

Well as the story goes...I have been busy with life.. other than carving...
Here are a few Buffleheads that I just finished.. these birds will be floating on the Susquehanna this season.. hopfully bringing birds in.. if not decoying birds at least the hunter should have some nice decoys to look at...
Been gathering reference material for the trio.. and been working on them some... will try and finish laying in the bill and flow line in the hen's head...wish me luck
