I was looking and thinking that the carving was quiet a challenge as well. Good job. I am enjoying your carving. ::nod:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Very nice work Doug. Would you ever try a fairly large duck decoy type?

Thanks. No I haven't painted the hummingbird yet. I struggle with painting. As soon as I get the crops all harvested I'm going to try to get it finished.
