Pair of ringers

Had to dig for these pics. I haven't carved much over the past couple of years. Kinda hit a little burnout stage that I am finally pulling out of. Should have some new stuff in a few weeks.

These are a pair of ringers that finished painting this past spring. Both have a cork body, tupalo heads, and are painted in acrylic paints.

Sorry for the picture quality. I suck at taking pics :D

That's right. Art is for the mantel.

This is art.

Thanks guys.

No mantle birds here. They are just straight gunners. Everything I do goes in the rig. Have several that I did the first year I started carving that I still hunt over. I do rotate some out as I do new ones but they all see work at some point.

Trust me...they look ROUGH after a season in my boat :D

I'd put that pair on the mantle. Do you have any examples of some puddle ducks you've done if any?

I had just started messing with some puddlers when I slacked off. I do have a couple I finished painting back in Jan I'll post up.
