Painting a Black Duck Drake Decoy Head

[@hawaii7569]

I used to carve with Noble Mentzer (Havre de Grace) in the 90's but fell off due to being young and dumb. I randomly looked up "decoy carving" and found your channel. You've inspired me to start carving again!

That is great! I hope you will enjoy carving again. Sometimes a break can help get you re-energized. Thanks for your note.

What a work of art Tom. Not sure what is more complicated, the carving of that duck or the painting. That head in the preening position looks very difficult to carve and paint. Will you have this duck at the ODCCA show? Merry Christmas, Bruce Brandeberry Maumee, OH

Thanks Bruce. No, I made that bird a while ago.
