This was an exercise in what is known as "simulated in use and wear" technique. I used an antique pattern from Maine and antiquing techniques. The Head is mortised on as was typical of boat builers making decoys in Maine. Hope you like it.
I love working with my hands and the restful calming effect it has on my otherwise frazzled nerves. I can turn, carve, build or paint for hours and get lost in the process. I move between techniques often and always have a project in the mix. I Carve Decoys, Scandinavian Plat Plane and Caricature. I turn Bowls, Pens and Stoppers. I've build furniture to houses. I enjoy hand tools as much as power. The painting I am new at, but enjoy it just as much.

Hey, it looks good to me, but then all your carving looks good to me. I think you should take a photo of your blue ribbon and put it on your blog so everyone can see.
