[Chad Hauser]

Hi y'all, I'm Chad Hauser, a decoy carver from Shreveport, Louisiana. I recognize a few names here from DCF, and I'm looking forward to making more friends here. I do mainly hollow gunning style decoys, though very few ever see open water. Mostly just for IWCA contests and the occasional commissioned piece. I started carving ducks (note: not DECOYS) when I was about 11 years old (today's my 35th birthday) so I've been at it a little while. But only serious about it for about the last 5 or 6 years. Here are a couple of images of some of my more recent carvings.








Again, I can't wait to make some new friends, learn some new stuff and maybe help out where I can.

Welcome! Now tell me how you got those photos into the text area!

Lynn,
You use the "Insert Image" function. They have to be posted somewhere (like on your blog, or in the gallery). Then you go to the image you want to put in the message, right click on it, and choose Copy Image Location.
Come back to the forum, and click on the little icon next to the speech bubble in the message tool bar (it looks like a little postcard of mountains). Paste the image location into the little window that comes up, and you are set.
