Haven't carved in a while due to just not wanting to mess with it. Finally got motivated enough to do this one for a raffle at my church.

Cork body, tupelo head, and painted in acrylics. Did a dogwood keel from a salvaged tree that a storm blew down in the yard.

Thanks for looking.

Gheez....I'd hate to put that one in the water! It'd only pull in the upper class ducks.

If I put that in my spread, some dummy would shoot it.
And then I'd have to shoot him.....

Man - that is outstanding work. That would look great on my mantle! Canvasbacks have always been my favorites.
I'm always a little bit in awe of people who have the talent to carve a realistic head like that. I tried it lots of times when I was younger, but the heads wound up looking more like a seagull than a duck, so I finally had to admit to no talent for it, and used Herters plastic heads on the cork decoys we made. Thanks for sharing!!!
