Something special about waterfowling, for sure.

Where do you get your foam Deuce? I have some foam from docks I think it's closed cell foam? Would that be usable? Do you resin some burlap over the foam or just use the foam?
I have a bunch if patters and some books on carving ceder decoys but I haven't for atound to it yet, bows the time to do it after turkey season I have to give it a go.

Since it is now obvious that "billcolector" is making a passive aggressive remark infering that I did not carve the bird....and in doing so trying to smear a thread that is more about a fond memory of a good dog then it was about a banded brant and a carved decoy....
Not that i should have to or even waste my time...BUT here are some pics...Most of the patterns for the bodies and heads were cut At Arties shop since i didn't have a band saw big enough at the time...All the hollowing and sanding to a finished product was done in my little "wood pecker" shop....Those where my first 2 buffies & first broadbill(forgot about her) carved from a great lakes pattern....The red head I bought..sweet bird from a guy out west

Taking credit for carving decoys that were made by Artie on his copy machine is not carving them yourself. I took you to Arties and you bought blanks all you did was sand them by the way are you ever going to return the Brant decoys I loaned you to copy from. I see that you have them in the picture the ones with the good paint job that Artie made for me.
