I'm very interested. Decoy carving is something that has always fascinated me.

I guess we won't hear anything on this until he tracks down and kills the "Osama bin Goobler" that he has been chasing this season! :D

Are you thinking along the lines of everyone starting out with the "Package 1 Beginning Carvers Kit" as listed in the DuckBlind catalog or something more advanced? I was thinking of buying that Kit to get started but will wait if you had something else in mind?
p.s. right back at ya :lol: :lol:

novocaine, that's most likely what we'd do so far as the package, but i may get willey to cut out something different than a Can although i love carving/painting them.....i'm thinking possibly a scaup, as they allow for combing in vermiculation, texturing heads, several color areas you don't "see" until you start looking, and dry brushing techniques.

again, this is just something i'm kicking around......but, you get the general idea.
