I'm presently working on a dozen cork - bodied Mallard decoys. It has taken me about 20 years to whittle the heads. Now I'll start on the bodies. They'll be brand new antiques by the time I finish them

bandsaw man - get a bandsaw

must be the year for it, I have pulled two old partly finished projects out of the closet in the past month. both ones I put away after making a mistake on them, I may not be any better a craftsman than I was when I goofed up on them, but I am more experienced at fixing mistakes now.

I just have to keep them moving with out stopping the rod I just started.

Rick,
Thanks for the laugh.

That has to be the quote of the year!
