Had my lovely assistant Sarah (aka my blood thirsty killer daughter) with me in the shop today. Her assignment was to learn to set eyes in carved decoys. She did a great job and set the eyes in almost 40 birds. Next week she gets to learn how to make the bills, soon to be followed by airbrushing lessons. I love having her working with me.

It's cool to see the birds before being finished and she looks like she's doing a killer job.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

More of a hobby that takes lots of time and brings in very little money. But it keeps me out of the wife's hair. :lol:

I carve decoys and do flocking/painting for folks.
