Well today I got out to get pictures to people who had been wanting to see their birds. Been hectic so finally set aside 2-3 hours to get pictures of everything. Some pretty cool stuff overall which is always nice.

Dead strap pheasants, wild birds that I shot in Kansas over the past few seasons and kept some extras. Customer wanted a couple on a strap with a shelf to put some cool strap stuff.



Tipping mallard. Guy was a big ol' fatty and came out super smooth with some good patterns


Head/neck came out so plump and smooth glad I could at least kind of capture that with a picture.


Wigeon duo, nice combination of poses.


Tipping one had some storm in him. The heads just looks so cool on them.



Swimming one wasn't a storm but a very chunky dude


Drinking some water with a water droplet


Neck collared speck. Wings came out nice on this guy.


Oldsquaw drake flying by.

Mallard pair done like I've mounted some pintails and with 2 mallard drakes but really like how the female adds a certain flare to a mount.

The coffee table has been a big project but looks so cool in the end it was great to get to do it. I'll definitely get one for myself at some point soon.

Sorry for the endless pictures, end result for "waiting" until I get enough where it's worth doing all the pic process.

Thanks again,

that coffee table is awesome....how much is that?

The coffee table was a pretty good price I thought. I just charged for what it cost and for the table/shipping/tax it came out to $450. Not too bad for furniture grade oak and how much glass is on it. Then it's just up to whoever is getting it and what they want to put it in, type of habitat etc.

I also have my new gallery for everybody to check out. Tried to make it more effiecent and easier to use plus I hope people can better find what they were looking for.
