I'm going to leave this one decoy style with no base. This duck took about 15 hours to carve and paint(that dosen't include reasearch/pattern making). The miniature wood duck on the water took about the same amount of time due to the base. Birds that I woodburn in the feathers, like songbirds and some ducks, take between 20 and 25 hours because of the amount of detail.

David nice woody boy I wish I had your talent. To carve a bird in 20 hours is great it would probably take me 20 years and it would look like a chicken. I admire your talent you are a fine artist. Some of the bird carvers I know have 80 hours plus into some of their birds. I think I have ADD my attention span would never last that long. All kidding aside a wonderful carving. Colin
