My thanks too for your work in posting the pics. You brought us more of the diversity of entries than we'll likely see on the decoy forum. Pretty awesome stuff!

Bill, we drove up to O.C. from SC Thurs. and came back Sun. I didn't see you there but there were so many people it's no wonder.
It was a great show and as usual, I spent all my money on tools and wood. Got three nice pieces of butternut.
The Ward Museum in Salisbury is a great place to visit, too.
Mike

WOW!!! I can't believe the talent it takes to carve something like that and when I get over that, the painting is just fantastic.

Nice shots William! Thanks for posting!

I am still unloading cameras and formatting pictures. Hopefully I can get my pictures posted soon.

(I've been thinking about using Picasa, but not sure about that just yet.)

I'll post a thread when I get'em ready!

Just got a newsletter from Chris White this morning and in it he has a picture of his bird sculpture. (Which is the one you have a picture of, in your 3rd message, left side) He says in his newsletter he was pleased to have won 1st place in the Interpretive area of the competition. Thank you for checking your pictures for me.
