Barrow’s Goldeneye

Posted on March 5, 2014 by birdquest2004

This past fall I bought myself a bandsaw, I’d always gone and used a friends bandsaw, to cut out my decoy patterns and figured it was time for me to own my own.

I’ve dabbled at carving for many years but realized early on, I was never going to be great at it. If you enjoy something though, and it gives you enjoyment. It’s worth doing, whether you end up with good or bad results.

I decided my first attempt would be a Barrow’s Goldeneye…

I really didn’t like the placement of the Crescent-shape on this drake, so out came the paints….

I am planning on taking painting classes when I retire, I need some serious help.

Ciao for now

The Perils of Bill…. “Watch Your Step”

Posted on March 2, 2014 by birdquest2004

What do you get when you try to walk across soft snow carrying a large lens and camera….up to your armpits in snow that’s what.

As a good friend I decided to take a photograph instead of helping….

Seriously I had to up the shutter speed to 1/4000 to keep the camera from shaking, I was laughing so hard.

Ciao for now
