I know a wood carver from South Carolina named Floyd Robbins. Although I am as far from an expert on carvings as one man can be I can recognize genius when I see it. Floyd has that genius, and is also a superb wingshot on woodcock with his little 20 ga. S X S. His carvings are nearly indistinguishable from real birds. Here's a recently completed quail which sold within minutes of it being offered. Everything you see was carved from wood, even the grasshopper. Hunting with Floyd is a rare privilege to be in the presence of greatness.





And a couple doves .........yeah, the shell box and the empty hulls are all carved from wood, too.
