Well.. the dust has settled on Worlds.. what a week of carving, looking at carvings, talking about carvings, touching carvings, judging carvings, entering carvings... you get the picture...

Rich and I had great students and Rich showed them many new techniques...

Here are some photos of a Common Merganser of mine and a pair of gunning Loons...

Now we are back to the grind of trying to get birds done and look foreward to next years Worlds...

I think I'm going to do another World Rig... that should be fun...
