Decoycarves screen Name

I guess everyone is wondering why my screen name is decoycarve and all I seem to do is Santas. I started out doing decoys and got to the point that I was getting quite a few ribbons at shows. Then I tried one of theses darn santas and have been carving them ever since. I haven't done a decoy in about 5 years. An old customer of mine asked me to carve a decoy for him and I told him I don't do decoys anymore. After a whole lot of begging I agreed to fit a 1/3 size mallard for him as it was a gift to has dad for christmas. I dug out my old patterns and my painting notes and by gosh I still can do a decoy.

I like your style, very nice paint. I'm like you, I carved ducks exclusively for a number or years, and started on birds of prey and song birds, and didn't carve any ducks for a long time. But beware, once you carve one again, you get the bug, and you have to carve more. It gets in your blood again.

Well done, Goody, obviously you haven't lost your touch! Thanks for sharing him with us!! I'm looking forward to some Santas holding ducks...or geese...or birds, endless possiblities there!

Just put Santa riding a Goose, and call it "THE REAL STORY" , everyone know Santa rides geese,, and not reindeer. Besides whoever heard of a reindeer going South in the winter!

Hehe Great Bird Goody! Oh and I have something for you.
