Well... here is the latest carving that I finished... any guesses... you will have to look in other than around here... It is a Yellow-Fronted Woodpecker... from South America...
Rich sent me a photo and a drawing of this bird a few years ago... pulled this out of the file and thought I would try... the bird is hanging sideways on the tree and I got to use colors that I don't get out too often...  fun project...
Now I'm off to Canada to fish and take vacation...and don't be fooled I will carve while I'm there...

Well...Here are some photos of the Crow that I'm carving... these are the feeders... one is wood and one is cork... just have to finish the others and learn how to hunt Crows and I'll be great...                 fun project..

Well... the year is just moving along... here is a mini Canvasback that I completed for the Columbia Flyway Decoy Show...
They have a contest were they pick the bird you make it enter it.. and then they trade birds... so I get a Can back but it won't be mine...
neat idea...
Been carving up a storm with all the NEA (national endowment for the arts) projects going on... got 7 students and they are all making something different...
Now... I have to go clean my paint room so they can paint with me this week...
