That is a beautiful breast

Was all washed and dried but just not happy about some yellowing on that white breast so doing an Iron Out soak and another wash. So glad I was able to find Iron Out at Ace Hardware!

So frustrating to sit down to wire wheel a duck and discover you forgot to remove the wing meat. Oh well just a little delay

Big bobcat finally together

Pretty teal hen and drake

Washing a bird is easy, it's the rinsing that is awful. Rinse #4, can't leave any soap in the down

Doing the happy dance! Some days it just takes a box of duck heads from Ted. Thank you Ted Weyenberg. I love your work and our long time friendship

One more strutter

Gadwall and awesome Mallard. Despite the broken wing the Mallard is one of those rare almost prefect birds

Putting those old nursing skills to work

If you guessed a flying mount you guessed correct

So excited … FLUFFING time!!

06/11/2024

Was ready to relax and fluff some feathers but no....spotted old blood on a few feathers so back in the wash. Don't mind washing, it's the multiple rinsing to get all the soap out of the down. Nice and clean and rinsed again so now....FLUFF time!!

Crazy the difference between wet and dry

I think my turkeys are getting a little better with time

04/23/2024

Just have to have figure out what the guy wants to do with her

04/23/2024

Wish I could take off a few inches around my waist that easy

04/23/2024

One size does not fit all

04/09/2024

Was going to put a wooden rod inside but thing I will fill it with a two part smooth cast. I repaired the brake with super glue and borax first

04/09/2024

I have been asked what is the most unique thing I have ever worked on…. it would definitely be the purple unicorn

04/08/2024

I am still in awe how much it changes with some drying

04/08/2024

At least when doing deer you have one hole to sew, not so with birds

04/06/2024

So much fun…… turkeys are so nasty on the inside

Beautiful tail
